scooby87 94614c021a fix(etcd): spread members across nodes with default soft pod anti-affinity (#3962)
## What this PR does

The `etcd` chart hardcoded only a **soft** `topologySpreadConstraints`
(`whenUnsatisfiable: ScheduleAnyway`) and never rendered
`spec.affinity`, even though the `EtcdCluster` CRD supports it. On small
clusters the scheduler therefore co-locates multiple members on one
node; losing that node takes out quorum (or the whole cluster).

We hit this in production: a single node reboot left several 3-member
etcd clusters with 2–3 members on the downed node, and one tenant's
control-plane etcd lost quorum until the node came back.

This renders `EtcdCluster.spec.affinity` from a new `affinity` value:

- **Default (value left empty):** the chart applies a **soft**
(preferred) `podAntiAffinity` on `kubernetes.io/hostname`, so members
spread across nodes on a best-effort basis. Soft on purpose — a hard
rule would leave a member `Pending` when replicas exceed schedulable
nodes, or when node-local storage pins a member to a node, so it is safe
to default on.
- **Override:** set `affinity` to any rule — e.g. a hard
`requiredDuringSchedulingIgnoredDuringExecution` podAntiAffinity — to
forbid co-location outright on clusters with enough nodes and
non-node-pinned storage. A supplied value replaces the default cleanly.

The existing `topologySpreadConstraints` block (and its
`_cluster.scheduling.globalAppTopologySpreadConstraints` override) is
unchanged.

Generated artifacts (`values.schema.json`, `README.md`, and the embedded
`openAPISchema` in `etcd-rd`) were regenerated with `make generate`;
`make test` passes (18/18).

### Screenshots

n/a — no UI changes.

### Downstream repositories

Walked the trigger map against the diff: this only adds one values key
to an app chart. No package is added/renamed/removed, `kind`/`plural`
are unchanged, no installer values or release assets or variants change,
and `README.md` is regenerated here (the website bot regenerates
reference pages from it on release). No manual downstream follow-up is
required.

- [x] No downstream repository is affected by this change

### Release note

```release-note
fix(etcd): etcd clusters now spread their members across nodes by default via a soft podAntiAffinity, and expose an `affinity` value so operators can set a hard rule; previously a single node could host a quorum of members and take out the cluster when it failed.
```

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **New Features**
  * Added configurable pod affinity rules for etcd deployments.
* By default, etcd members use soft anti-affinity to spread across hosts
without blocking scheduling.
  * Custom affinity settings can override the default behavior.
* Exposed affinity configuration in the etcd application schema and
dashboard.
