Description
## Problem Statement
The upstream feature `GatewayFrontendClientCertificateValidationInsecureFallback` is part of Gateway extended conformance and is checked by the test in https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/gateway-api/blob/main/conformance/tests/gateway-with-clientcertificate-validation-insecure-fallback.go.
This feature verifies support for the `AllowInsecureFallback` frontend client certificate validation mode.
Tracked as part of #1446.
## Proposed Solution
Investigate whether Kong Operator can support this feature in Gateway mode, implement any missing behavior if needed, and enable the feature in Gateway API conformance.
## Additional Information
- Feature: `SupportGatewayFrontendClientCertificateValidationInsecureFallback` (extended)
- Gateway API version introducing the feature: `v1.5.0`
- This feature depends on `SupportGatewayFrontendClientCertificateValidation`.
## Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] Root cause or compatibility status is identified and documented
- [ ] If compatible, the implementation is updated as needed
- [ ] `features.SupportGatewayFrontendClientCertificateValidationInsecureFallback` is enabled in `pkg/gatewayapi/supportedfeatures.go`
- [ ] The relevant Gateway conformance test passes in CI

Research direction
Start with pkg/gatewayapi/supportedfeatures.go and compare the operator's current support for frontend client certificate validation with the upstream test in conformance/tests/gateway-with-clientcertificate-validation-insecure-fallback.go. Determine the compatibility status, document the root cause or findings, update behavior if required, enable the feature, and verify the relevant conformance test passes in CI.
