Kubernetes Data Management in Air-Gapped Environments

[Kanister](https://github.com/kanisterio/kanister) is a Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) project for application-level data backup, restore, and mobility on Kubernetes. In restricted enterprise environments (banking, healthcare, defense), container images must be pulled exclusively from authenticated private registries.

[ IMPORTANT ]Added full support for configurable imagePullSecrets across the Kanister Helm chart hierarchy (controller, blueprint runners, and sidecars), unblocking enterprise air-gapped deployments.

Contribution Architecture

Added global and per-subchart imagePullSecrets templating in Helm.
Validated compatibility with OpenShift, EKS, and vanilla Kubernetes 1.28+.
Ensured zero regression on existing non-authenticated Helm deployments.
