…estore

Previously, the cluster restore process immediately returned success without waiting
for any init containers to complete. This meant restore operations from backup tools
(Velero, Kasten, etc.) could start before the restore data was fully prepared.

Now the restore process actively waits for all init containers to complete before
proceeding. The implementation is tool-agnostic and correctly handles Kubernetes init
container sidecars by ignoring those with RestartPolicy=Always.

This ensures that any backup/restore solution using init containers will have
sufficient time to prepare the cluster before the restore process proceeds.
