fix: pre-pull Rancher images and reset Rancher release during bootstrap

Rancher installs were stalling on transient Docker Hub TLS handshake timeouts
for rancher shell, webhook, and system-upgrade-controller images. Pre-pull the
required images onto all nodes after k3s comes up, extend the Rancher HelmRelease
timeout, and reset/force the Rancher HelmRelease before waiting on addon-rancher
so bootstrap can recover from stale failed remediation state.
