Pass Management CA cert content to Workload cluster

What does this MR do and why?

Closes #1892 (closed)

This MR alongwith a s-c-c MR(sylva-projects/sylva-elements/helm-charts/sylva-capi-cluster!788 (merged)) is created as outcome of discussions and evolutions so far w.r.t (#1892 (closed)) and suggestions in comment(!4545 (comment 2620740728))

The aim of this MR is to inject updated management-cluster CA (the ca.crt portion of ca-key-pair from cert-manager namespace) in each of new wokrload cluster's nodes without touching the existing node. This MR implements this feature in such a way so that mgmt-cluster's CA certificate rotation won't lead to node rolling update. For this a new parameter called additional_ca_delayed_update is introduced in s-c-c where it generates a secret with the content ca.crt(from mgmt-cluster) and this same secret is used with contetFrom in machine templates config.

In this MR following approach is used in order to pass management cluster's ca to workload cluster

The approach used in this MR creates a kyverno policy(add-mgmt-ca) as defined in component of a kustomization called mgmt-cluster-state-values. This kyverno policy generates configmap called add-mgmt-ca-cm in each namespace corresponding to workload cluster and this same configmap further used in valuesFrom of workload cluster helmrelease.

The above metnioned configmap add-mgmt-ca-cm contains the parameter additional_ca_delayed_update with the ca.crt content from mgmt-cluster. This is base64 encoded and looks like as follows:

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.
