When KUBERNETES_NAMESPACE is unset, startReloader logged
"will detect changes in all namespaces." unconditionally, even when
--namespaces-to-ignore was set, which is misleading.
Extract the scope message into namespaceWatchScopeMessage(), move the log
after ignoredNamespacesList is resolved, and include the excluded
namespaces in the message when filtering is active.
Closes#1131

Use strings.ToLower so any casing (configMaps, ConfigMaps, sEcrets)
normalizes to the canonical lowercase ResourceMap key, and simplify the
flag help text. Addresses PR review feedback.

Allow users to customise the annotation key used to mark ConfigMaps and
Secrets as ignored by Reloader, consistent with how every other annotation
key is already overridable via a dedicated CLI flag.
Changes:
- internal/pkg/util/util.go: register --ignore-annotation persistent flag
backed by options.IgnoreResourceAnnotation
- deployments/kubernetes/chart/reloader/templates/deployment.yaml: pass
--ignore-annotation when custom_annotations.ignore is set in Helm values
- deployments/kubernetes/chart/reloader/values.yaml: document the new
custom_annotations.ignore key in the example comment
- README.md: add --ignore-annotation to the Annotation Key Overrides table
and mention the flag alongside the Resource-Level Ignore Annotation section

PR #1061 renamed the configmap key in kube.ResourceMap from "configMaps"
(camelCase) to "configmaps" (lowercase) to fix controllers not being
able to mark themselves as initialized. However, two callers were not
updated to match the new canonical key:
1. The Helm chart's deployment template still emits
`--resources-to-ignore=configMaps` (camelCase) when
`reloader.ignoreConfigMaps: true` is set.
2. The validation in `GetIgnoredResourcesList` only accepts the legacy
camelCase spelling.
Because `ignoredResourcesList.Contains(k)` uses case-sensitive string
equality, the lookup against the new lowercase ResourceMap key never
matches. The configmaps controller is created and starts watching
ConfigMaps cluster-wide, even though the chart's ClusterRole template
(also gated on `ignoreConfigMaps`) does not grant permission for it.
The resulting pod logs are full of:
configmaps is forbidden: User "system:serviceaccount:reloader:reloader-reloader"
cannot list resource "configmaps" in API group "" at the cluster scope
This change:
- Updates the chart deployment template to emit the canonical lowercase
`configmaps` value.
- Normalizes the input in `GetIgnoredResourcesList`, accepting both
`configMaps` (legacy, for backward compatibility with users who pass
the flag directly) and `configmaps` (canonical), and emitting the
canonical form to the caller.
- Updates the flag help text and adds tests covering both spellings.
