* fix(spiffe-oidc-discovery-provider): run under restricted PSA/SCC on OpenShift

The OIDC discovery provider does not require any elevated privileges: it
runs fine under OpenShift's built-in restricted-v2 SCC (non-root, no
privilege escalation, all capabilities dropped, RuntimeDefault seccomp,
read-only root filesystem) and mounts only restricted-compatible volumes
(csi, configMap, emptyDir, secret, projected, downwardAPI).

Despite this, on OpenShift the chart:
- downgraded the spire-server namespace from restricted to privileged PSA
  whenever the OIDC provider was enabled, and
- created a fully privileged SecurityContextConstraints (host network/IPC/
  PID, privileged container, hostPath, arbitrary seccomp, RunAsAny) bound
  to the provider's ServiceAccount.

Both contradict the chart's own Namespaces documentation, which specifies
restricted PSA for spire-server, and violate least privilege for an
internet-facing OIDC endpoint.

Remove the privileged PSA override for the OIDC provider (spire-server
stays restricted; the scc.podSecurityLabelSync=false label is retained)
and drop the privileged SCC so the provider falls through to restricted-v2.

With spire-server enforcing restricted PSA, the inline-CSI PodSecurity
check reads the cluster-scoped CSIDriver's
security.openshift.io/csi-ephemeral-volume-profile label. If the CSIDriver
is not committed before the spire-server StatefulSet (which mounts the
inline upstream.csi.spiffe.io volume) is admitted, the profile defaults to
privileged and admission is denied. Under ArgoCD the CSIDriver and the
server StatefulSet can land in the same sync wave, racing admission.
Annotate the CSIDriver with argocd.argoproj.io/sync-wave: "-1" (OpenShift
only) so it is applied before the default-wave server workloads; the
annotation is inert for plain helm installs.

* ✨ make CSIDriver sync-wave ordering configurable

Add syncWave and csiDriverAnnotations values to the spiffe-csi-driver
chart so the OpenShift argocd.argoproj.io/sync-wave annotation number
can be overridden (e.g. when the chart is nested) and arbitrary
annotations can be applied to the CSIDriver.
