Changes required for the `KafkaUser` custom resource in the `v1` API.

== Manual changes required

The conversion tool does not apply the following updates. 
You must make these changes manually to ensure compatibility:

* Ensure the `.spec` section is present (required).

== Automatic changes supported

The following updates are applied automatically by the conversion tool during conversion.  
If the conversion tool is not used, you can apply the same changes manually:

* Replaces the `operation` property in `.spec.authorization.acls[]` with the `operations` array.  
*This change must be applied before upgrading to Strimzi version 0.49.0 or later.*
