fix(helm): satisfy Restricted Pod Security Standard for certgen hook

 | openshiftRoute.host | string | `""` | Hostname for the Route. Must match a SAN on the gateway's server cert. |
 | pkiInitJob.enabled | bool | `true` | Run a pre-install/pre-upgrade Job that creates gateway and client mTLS Secrets. When certManager.enabled=true, cert-manager owns TLS and this same hook runs in JWT-only mode even if pkiInitJob.enabled remains true. |
 | pkiInitJob.failOnTimeout | bool | `true` | Fail the helm install/upgrade if cert-manager does not issue the certificate within the polling timeout. When true (default), the install fails immediately if the timeout is reached, providing clear feedback that BackendTLSPolicy is non-functional. When false, the hook succeeds with a warning and you can run `helm upgrade` after cert-manager issues the certificate to create the backend CA ConfigMap. If you set this to false and see "TLS error: Secret is not supplied by SDS" when connecting to the gateway, check if the TLS secret exists and run `helm upgrade` to create the ConfigMap. |

 | pkiInitJob.timeoutSeconds | int | `120` | Maximum time in seconds for the certgen hook to poll for cert-manager certificates. When using cert-manager with BackendTLSPolicy, the hook polls for this many seconds waiting for the certificate to be issued, then creates the backend CA ConfigMap. The Job deadline is set to (timeoutSeconds + 30) to allow time for ConfigMap creation and cleanup. Increase this if cert-manager takes longer than 120 seconds to issue certificates. |
