Description

We should update the fabric8 version in flink-kubernetes to at least 6.5.1. 

Flink currently uses a very old fabric8 version. The fabric8 library dependencies have since been revised and greately improved to make them more moduler and allow eliminating securitiy vulnerabilities more easily like: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-31815

The newer versions especially 6.5.1 + also add some improvement stability fixes for watches and other parts.
