🚀 Released VSecM v0.27.0 🐢⚡️

[v0lkan]

Changed

• Removed useClusterSpiffeIds and useSpireControllerManager from helm charts
  options. SPIRE helm charts use SPIRE Controller Manager, and disabling it
  is nontrivial. Also, ClusterSPIFFEIDs are the best way to manage SPIFFEIDs
  in a Kubernetes cluster. — If we find a use case where these options are
  necessary, or if there is a need from the community, we can modify the
  code to let SPIRE install without SPIRE Controller Manager and bring those
  flags back.
• Optimized the build pipeline, reducing the build time by 60%.
• Removed bundle endpoints from SPIRE manifests. We don't use them anywhere.
  If there is a need, we can bring them back. Note that this also impacts
  the experimental "federation" feature. Federation can still be enabled
  by manually editing the SPIRE Server and SPIRE Agent configmaps. Later, we'll
  have a cross-cluster replication feature where we will introduce these
  bundle endpoints using a hub-spoke topology in a more controlled manner.

Added

• Introduced new Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) as drafts. These ADRs
  will be reviewed and finalized in the upcoming releases.
• Namespaces of vsecm-system, spire-server, and spire-system can now
  be dynamically configurable via Helm charts.
• Various documentation and README updates.
