Report StatusConflict on Pod opt partial failures

- When one or more containers in the Pod reports an error on an operation
report StatusConflict and report the error(s)

- jsoniter type encoding used to marshal error as string using error.Error()

- Update test framework to allow setting any flag when creating pods

- Fix test_resize() result check

Fixes #8865
