Add pod/deployment extensibility controls to Helm chart

[thekkagent]

Description

The OpenAB Helm chart currently covers the minimal install path well, but lacks several common deployment controls that operators expect from a production-ready chart, including imagePullSecrets, health probes, initContainers, extra containers, extra volumes, pod annotations/labels, and serviceAccountName.

This forces users to either fork the chart, patch rendered manifests post-helm template, or rebuild custom images for relatively minor deployment-specific needs.

Use Case

• Private registry deployments require imagePullSecrets
• Health check integration with orchestrators requires livenessProbe / readinessProbe / startupProbe
• Startup bootstrap (e.g. pulling config, preparing workspace) requires initContainers
• Log collectors, monitoring agents require extra containers
• Injecting downward API fields (e.g. metadata.name) or external secrets requires polymorphic env with valueFrom support
• Service mesh and observability integrations require pod annotations/labels

Proposed Solution

Pod/deployment extensibility (Deployment.spec.template scope only):

• imagePullSecrets (global + per-agent, with explicit opt-out)
• Per-agent imagePullPolicy, serviceAccountName
• livenessProbe, readinessProbe, startupProbe, lifecycle
• initContainers, extraContainers
• extraVolumes, extraVolumeMounts
• podAnnotations, podLabels (global + per-agent, merged with reserved-key protection)
• Polymorphic env rendering (string values + valueFrom maps)
• PodDisruptionBudget
• Chart-managed ServiceAccount with RBAC
• Generic extra objects (extraDeploy)

Implementation: #380
