  1. Seperate pending update check from health check during roll restart 

    Refactor the code to seperate each steps clearly.
In the first loop there was 2 operations:
- Check if there is a pending update
- Check if all pods are ready
However, we can break in some conditions and skip the
health checking.
To simplify the maintability of the scope, it is now split in
2 separate loops:
- first check if restarts are pending
- then check that all pools are healthy

  2. Separate the rolling update loop from the pod stuck restart 

    Refactor the order or restart to simplify the reconcile function
and make it more deterministic.

Before we could maybe restart stuck pods then perform roll
restart. Now, stuck pods are always restarted first.
Also, stuck pods are restarted before checking the number
of ready replicas, because if we check before we will never
reach this point.
Finally, we don't process a rolling restart if any pods stuck
was deleted, to avoid performing any dangerous actions.

  3. Alleviate race conditions in roll restart reconciler 

    When a Roll Restart is triggered with at least 2 pools, a race
condition can trigger the roll restart of a pods in each pools.
This can lead to a red cluster.
Normally to prevent this from happening, there are 3 checks:
- check the status.ReadyReplicas of all sts before moving forward.
- for each nodePool, check that that all replicas are ready by listing
  pods directly
- before deleting a pod, a check is made on the OpenSearch to see
  if the cluster is healthy

In practice, it is not enough. Considering the rollRestart of 2 nodePool:
- data
- masterData

The following sequence can happen:
- a rollRestart is triggered
- reconcile function is called
- data and masterData have all their pods ready
- data pod is deleted; pods is terminating (NOT terminated yet)
- reconcile function is recalled
- data and masterData have all their pods ready from the status.ReadyReplicas
  point of view (because it didn't see the change yet)
- data is seen as unhealthy thanks to CountRunningPodsForNodePool
- masterData is seen as healthy because all its pods are ready
- Opensearch is still healthy, because the deleted pod is not terminated yet
- A pod in masterData is restarted
- Cluster is red!

This commit make sure we check readiness of all nodePool using
CountRunningPodsForNodePool before trying to restart any pools.
