Description

Backport of #2537 to release-1.3.

The `small` preset (512Mi) is not sufficient for the Strimzi 0.45 /
Kafka 3.9 image baseline. With the default Strimzi heap formula
(Kafka 50%, ZooKeeper 75% of container memory limit), the remaining
non-heap budget (Metaspace, code cache, direct buffers, JMX
javaagent, embedded Jetty admin server, KRaft migration endpoints,
thread stacks) consistently overflows the 512Mi cgroup limit at
startup, leading to OOMKilled (exit 137) and CrashLoopBackOff for
both Kafka and ZooKeeper pods.

Bump the default `resourcesPreset` for kafka and zookeeper from
`small` (512Mi) to `medium` (1Gi). The `small` preset stays in the
enum so existing deployments that pin it are unaffected; only the
default changes.
