128546: add PodReplacementPolicy for Deployments: terminating pods

A new status field, .status.terminatingReplicas, has been added to Deployments and ReplicaSets to improve visibility into terminating pods. This change is a prerequisite for introducing PodReplacementPolicy in Deployments, which will provide more control over pod updates. The new field is available when the DeploymentPodReplacementPolicy feature gate is enabled.
