cmd/k8s-operator: set different app type for operator with proxy (#10081)

Updates tailscale/tailscale#9222

plain k8s-operator should have hostinfo.App set to 'k8s-operator', operator with proxy should have it set to 'k8s-operator-proxy'. In proxy mode, we were setting the type after it had already been set to 'k8s-operator'
