Draft: Add kubernetes event exporter and dummy config

Robert Hunt requested to merge add-kubernetes-events-monitoring into main

What does this MR do and why?

This MR adds the kubernetes-event-exporter helm package which allows us to capture the output of kubectl get events and send it to Loki on a regular basis. Unfortunately, GKE doesn't have a built-in way to send these events automatically.
