This is an automated cherry-pick of #14632

/assign tenzen-y

Pod: Fixed a bug where a serving pod group's evicted pod could be left stuck in `Terminating` forever, since its `kueue.x-k8s.io/managed` finalizer was only removed for a Workload deletion, not for other evictions (e.g. a `recoveryTimeout` eviction). This could cause a legitimate replacement pod to be deleted as excess instead, or permanently block a same-name (StatefulSet-owned) replacement from ever being created. Kueue now removes the finalizer as soon as an evicted pod has actually terminated.
