helm: generate the SFTP host key per install (#10390)

* helm: generate the SFTP host key per install

The SFTP secret template shipped one fixed ed25519 host key, so every
install that did not override it presented the same host identity.
Generate the key at install time instead, following the
getOrGeneratePassword pattern: an existing secret keeps its key across
upgrades, except the previously bundled one, which is replaced with a
freshly generated key on the next upgrade.

* helm: create the SFTP host-keys secret the deployments mount

Both the sftp and all-in-one deployments mount /etc/sw/ssh from
<fullname>-sftp-ssh-secret, but no template created it, so a default
install could not start its pod and host keys only reached the server
when enableAuth happened to mount them elsewhere. Create the secret
with a generated ed25519 key, keeping whatever keys an existing secret
already holds. The sshPrivateKey default becomes empty: the file it
pointed at only exists when enableAuth mounts /etc/sw, and a configured
but missing key file is fatal to the server, while hostKeysFolder now
always has a key.

* helm: test SFTP host key generation and secret lifecycle

Template checks: keys render into the secret the deployments mount,
parse as PKCS#8 ed25519, differ between installs, and the render
carries no key material from the chart itself; existingSshConfigSecret
and all-in-one wiring covered. On the kind cluster, exercise the
secret lifecycle: a generated key survives upgrades, the key earlier
chart versions bundled is replaced, and operator-managed keys are kept
untouched. chart-testing now also installs with sftp enabled, where
the pod only becomes ready if the server loads the generated host
key.

* helm: treat a whitespace-only stored SFTP host key as missing

A whitespace-only secret value skipped regeneration and then rendered
an empty key file.

* helm: mount the SFTP host keys secret at the configured hostKeysFolder

The secret was mounted at a fixed /etc/sw/ssh, so a custom
sftp.hostKeysFolder pointed the server at an empty directory. Mount at
the configured path in both the sftp and all-in-one deployments, and
pin flag/mount agreement in the rendering tests.
