Ability to pause reconciliation for manual canary rollouts

[junneyang]

Is there a supported way or annotation (like paused=true) to temporarily disable the ECK Operator's reconciliation for a specific cluster?

Use Case: I want to upgrade the Elasticsearch image version but need strict control over the process. Specifically, I want to:

1. Pause the operator to prevent automatic rolling updates.
2. Apply the new image version in the manifest.
3. Manually delete a single Pod to update it as a canary.
4. Observe the new Pod for stability.
5. Resume the operator to finish the rollout only after the canary is verified.
6. Currently, OnDelete strategy alone doesn't seem to offer enough control without pausing the operator logic.

thanks for your help!
