Kubernetes v1.37: etcd RangeStream graduates to beta, cuts API server memory on large reads

Platform/SRE — Learn: RangeStream is still beta in v1.37 (requires etcd v3.7), so not yet production-adoptable, but SREs running clusters with many large objects (e.g., Pods at scale) should track this as a near-term mitigation for API server and etcd OOM risk during cache repopulation.
