Cilium 1.16 support

[daniwk]

Hi,
Are there any plans to support 1.16 any time soon? We are of course really looking forward to testing out the new version in our OpenShift clusters.

Potential solution is to delete this operator and re-install with Helm.
As I described in my issue #97

Interesting solution, but I'm guessing this would be unsupported when using OpenShift.
For OKD that's not an issue though.

There are features in 1.16 that I need for my use case so I’m really interested to hear where things stand.

Is the Cilium OLM project dead? If yes, what is the alternative? Do I need to use Isovalent as replacement?

If the project is dead could you please update the documentation from here to mention not to use this anymore?

I've made an attempt at a PR for cilium 1.16.5 here: #99

I just followed the instructions in the readme blindly so not sure if its 100% correct but based on previously merged PRs for version bumps it looks quite close.

Just need a maintainer to approve the workflows to be run.

While waiting for that I'm trying to verify by building locally and installing in a cluster.
