feat(flux): upgrade components to v2.9.5

Regenerated with `flux install --export
--components-extra=image-reflector-controller,image-automation-controller`
from the v2.9.5 CLI; the same component set as before.

Controllers: source v1.8.3 -> v1.9.5, kustomize v1.8.4 -> v1.9.5, helm
v1.5.4 -> v1.6.4, notification v1.8.4 -> v1.9.4, image-reflector v1.1.1
-> v1.2.5, image-automation v1.1.2 -> v1.2.5. CRDs updated, the
allow-webhooks NetworkPolicy now names port 9292.

Prerequisites from the 2.9 release notes, verified before this commit:
the removed image v1beta2 and notification v1beta2 API versions are
neither used in the repo (image.* all v1, Alert/Provider v1beta3) nor
stored in the cluster's CRDs (storedVersions all current), so no
`flux migrate` step is needed. helm-controller 1.6 changes the default
post-render strategy; no HelmRelease here uses postRenderers.
`flux check --pre` passes on Kubernetes 1.36.3 and the manifests pass a
server-side dry run against the live cluster.
