rke2_1_36: init at 1.36.1+rke2r1

https://github.com/rancher/rke2/releases/tag/v1.36.1%2Brke2r1

Upstream ingress-nginx Retirement & Transition to Traefik

Because ingress-nginx was retired upstream as of March 2026, Traefik is now the default for new
clusters starting in v1.36 (existing clusters will keep their current ingress upon upgrade to avoid
breakage). This transition brings the following structural changes:

- Airgapped Environments: The rke2-images-core tarball now contains Traefik images instead of
  ingress-nginx. The standalone rke2-images-traefik tarball has been removed. Users who must
  continue using ingress-nginx will now need to manually provide the rke2-images-ingress-nginx
  tarball.
- Future Removal: The ingress-nginx chart will not receive any additional updates and will be
  completely removed in v1.37 for community users.
- Prime Customers: Please refer to the official product documentation for specific Prime
  considerations.
