Use a stable dev tag for working installations and explicitly restart every long-running workload that uses the rebuilt Contour image. This preserves rapid local redeployment without accumulating a new image tag on every run. Fixes projectcontour#5277 Signed-off-by: Akash Kumar <meakash7902@gmail.com>

Fixes #5277
What this PR does
ghcr.io/projectcontour/contour:devimage tag in both working-install scriptsWhy
The scripts currently generate a process-specific image tag for every run. That
forces Kubernetes to deploy the new build, but it also accumulates uniquely
tagged images in the local development environment.
Developer impact
Repeated working-tree deployments now reuse one development tag while still
restarting every long-running workload that embeds the rebuilt Contour binary.
Prior work
This is a fresh implementation of the approach discussed in #5854. Thanks to
@harshil1973 for the earlier implementation and to the maintainers who recorded
the expected restart behavior there.
