feat: Support cross-namespace package references with PackageRef field (#203)

### Motivation

The current Function CRD uses a simple `Package` field to reference packages, which limits the ability to reference packages from different namespaces. This change introduces a new `PackageRef` structure that supports cross-namespace package references while maintaining backward compatibility and proper label management.

The main problems this solves:
1. **Cross-namespace package references**: Functions can now reference packages from different namespaces
2. **Improved package label management**: Package labels now include namespace information to avoid conflicts
3. **Better validation**: Enhanced webhook validation for cross-namespace references
4. **Consistent labeling**: Automatic generation of package labels with namespace prefix

### Modifications

1. **Updated Function CRD structure**:
   - Replaced `Package` field with `PackageRef` structure containing `Name` and `Namespace` fields
   - Updated all test files to use the new `PackageRef` structure

2. **Enhanced webhook validation**:
   - Modified `function_webhook.go` to validate cross-namespace package references
   - Updated package label generation to include namespace prefix (format: `namespace.package-name`)
   - Added comprehensive tests for cross-namespace scenarios

3. **Improved controller logic**:
   - Updated `function_controller.go` to handle cross-namespace package lookups
   - Modified `mapPackageToFunctions` to work with namespace-aware package labels
   - Removed manual package label management from controller (now handled by webhook)

4. **Enhanced test coverage**:
   - Added extensive tests for cross-namespace package references
   - Updated existing tests to use `PackageRef` instead of `Package`
   - Added tests for automatic package label generation
   - Added integration tests for multiple functions with auto-generated labels

5. **Updated package webhook**:
   - Modified `packages_webhook.go` to use namespace-aware package labels when finding referencing functions

The changes maintain backward compatibility while providing a more robust and flexible package reference system that supports cross-namespace operations.
