Mattia Eleuteri 51ad226706 fix(backupstrategy-controller): repair lookup-gated backup objects
The default Strategy CRs and the Velero BackupStorageLocation are
Helm-templated behind a `lookup` of the BucketClaim the same chart
creates, and the <bucket>-<user>-credentials Secret behind a `lookup` of
the COSI Secret. When those lookups are empty at install time the objects
were silently skipped, and helm-controller does not re-render a release
whose chart and values did not change (drift detection is off on
operator-generated HelmReleases), so the skip was permanent: clusters ran
for months with only BackupClass cozy-default and no Strategy CRs at all.
That also fail-closes the pre-adoption snapshot in the v1.6.0 etcd
migration, which reads the projected credentials Secret.

Add a DefaultObjectsGate runnable to backupstrategy-controller. Once the
bucket name is resolvable from the projector's source Secret, it checks
that every object cozy-default routes to exists and forces one real Helm
upgrade (reconcile.fluxcd.io/forceAt + requestedAt) when any is missing.
Helm remains the objects' only author; the gate only makes sure the render
that produces them actually happens. It cannot be a render-time `fail` in
this chart: the chart is the producer of the Bucket its own lookup reads,
so a failed render would deadlock the condition.

The bucket chart's user-credentials template CAN fail safely — the
BucketAccess that produces the COSI Secret belongs to the parent release
and that release retries forever — so make it fail loudly instead of
skipping, with requireUserCredentials=false as the offline-render escape.

Also correct the chart and doc comments that claimed Flux re-renders on
its interval, and document the two-release manual recovery for clusters
already affected.
