Propagate transient secret-loading errors. loadPluginSecrets wraps every client.Get error, including transient Kubernetes API errors. ProcessL4RoutePolicy then wraps that error in invalidL4RoutePolicyError. For accepted TCP, TLS, and UDP routes, l4RoutePolicyReconcileError converts the wrapper to nil, so reconciliation does not retry and the policy receives an invalid status. Distinguish permanent policy errors from operational client errors, and propagate operational errors normally.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Retry non-validation L4 policy errors for rejected routes.
ProcessL4RoutePolicy runs before the accepted/rejected branch in all three reconcilers. If policy listing fails, it returns an error without queuing policy status updates. The rejected-route branch then deletes provider state and returns nil, so the controller does not retry and the existing policy status can remain unchanged.
After Provider.Delete succeeds, return l4RoutePolicyReconcileError(l4RoutePolicyErr) in all three branches. This preserves the intentional exception for invalid policies, because l4RoutePolicyReconcileError converts invalidL4RoutePolicyError to nil after ProcessL4RoutePolicy queues its invalid status.
