Since 1.33 launched, upstream bumped github.com/distribution/reference to v0.6.0 and this version deprecated SplitHostname

docker/distribution 2.8.3 uses this function and we had problems with the bump for 1.33.0

Describe the solution you'd like

Investigate if the bump could be done it without the need for a fork or make a fork in the k3s-io and bump to v0.6.0

Describe alternatives you've considered
