Install generic CSI VolumeSnapshot support

What this MR does

This MR adds a new volumesnapshot-controller Sylva unit that installs the Kubernetes CSI VolumeSnapshot CRDs and the upstream external-snapshotter snapshot-controller.

The unit uses external-snapshotter v8.5.0 and is enabled for CAPO clusters where Sylva needs to manage generic snapshot support.

Scope

This MR only installs generic VolumeSnapshot support:

• VolumeSnapshotClass CRD
• VolumeSnapshotContent CRD
• VolumeSnapshot CRD
• snapshot-controller

It does not create any CSI-driver-specific VolumeSnapshotClass.

Cinder CSI-specific snapshot class support will be added in a follow-up MR, together with an end-to-end snapshot/restore test.

RKE2 handling

RKE2 can ship snapshot-controller/CRDs as packaged HelmChart/AddOn components. To avoid overlapping ownership, this unit is disabled when the bootstrap provider is RKE2 (cabpr).

A future issue/MR can track whether Sylva should instead disable the RKE2 packaged snapshot components and own this through Flux.

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.
