OCPBUGS-79992,OCPBUGS-79991,OCPBUGS-79988: Replace google.golang.org/grpc with github.com/openshift-sustaining/grpc-go v1.67.3-sec.1 to avoid go version bump and fix CVE-2026-33186

[kunalmemane]

The sriov-network-operator on the release-4.16 branch currently utilizes Go 1.21. Upgrading google.golang.org/grpc to v1.79.3 would force bump to Go 1.24.

To resolve CVE-2026-33186 while maintaining Go 1.21 compatibility, replace the standard gRPC dependency with github.com/openshift-sustaining/grpc-go at version v1.67.3-sec.1, which includes the necessary security patch.
