feat(kanidm): automate replication cert exchange via native sidecar

Add a native sidecar (bitnami/kubectl, restartPolicy: Always) that runs
kanidmd renew-replication-certificate on each pod and patches the result
into the kanidm-repl-certs ConfigMap (certs are public keys, not secrets).
The config-init init container reads peer certs from the ConfigMap at
startup, building the replication stanza automatically — no manual cert
exchange required after first deploy.

Add RBAC (Role + RoleBinding) granting the kanidm service account
pods/exec and configmap patch permissions scoped to the kanidm namespace.
