Enable Kyverno CRD watcher feature

What does this MR do and why?

Starting from Kyverno v3.4.2, which was done in !4296 (merged), a new feature called crdWatcher was added. The CRD Watcher is a Kyverno feature that uses the Kubernetes dynamic client and informer mechanism to watch for changes to CRDs in real time and automatically invalidate and refresh Kyverno’s discovery cache when a CRD is added, updated, or removed.

This MR aims on enabling that feature and also removing the existing policies that we have been using for restarting Kyverno on different CRDs installation.

Closes #1899 (closed)

Closes #2341 (closed) (since we won't need the policies anymore)

Test coverage

This was tested in a CAPO environment and the deployment is fine, the CRDs are being detected correctly by Kyverno on installation.

Global config for deployment pipelines

  • autorun pipelines
  • allow failure on pipelines
  • record sylvactl events

Notes:

  • Enabling autorun will make deployment pipelines to be run automatically without human interaction
  • Disabling allow failure will make deployment pipelines mandatory for pipeline success.
  • if both autorun and allow failure are disabled, deployment pipelines will need manual triggering but will be blocking the pipeline

Be aware: after configuration change, pipeline is not triggered automatically. Please run it manually (by clicking the run pipeline button in Pipelines tab) or push new code.
