serving Prevent cross-service revision traffic routing

Fixes #11916

Services can no longer route traffic to revisions belonging to different services. When a Service-owned Route references a revision with a different serving.knative.dev/service label, the Route will show Ready=False with reason RevisionNotOwned.

Standalone Routes (not owned by a Service) are unaffected and can still reference any revision.

Changes

Validate revision ownership when building traffic configuration
New RevisionNotOwned condition reason when validation fails
Standalone Routes (not owned by a Service) are unaffected

Open Question

Should we also add validation at the webhook level for faster user feedback?

This would require using the revision informer in the webhook which would probably increase the memory footprint a bit (didn't test it). The current implementation validates at reconciliation time only, which is consistent with how other traffic errors (e.g., RevisionMissing) are handled so I'm fine keeping the implementation like this.

Release Note

Services can no longer route traffic to revisions belonging to different services; attempting to do so will result in Ready=False with reason RevisionNotOwned.
