feat: deploy argocd-image-updater via Helm

Deploys ArgoCD Image Updater into the argocd-image-updater namespace. Vault-managed secrets provide registry credentials for git.unkin.net and an ArgoCD API token. Prerequisites before syncing: - Create Vault role argocd-image-updater in k8s/au/syd1 - Populate kv/service/argocd-image-updater/registry-creds (key: creds, value: <user>:<token>) - Create ArgoCD local user image-updater and store token at kv/service/argocd-image-updater/argocd-token
feat: move artifactapi to image-updater ApplicationSet with annotations
