Mr Khachaturov eda62ff77b External-dns and new clusterissuer dns01 Cloudflare (#374)
Overview

This pull request introduces the integration of External-DNS into the
full bundles and adds support for a dns01 ClusterIssuer using
Cloudflare. It enhances the DNS management capabilities for our
deployments by allowing dynamic DNS record management directly from
Kubernetes resources.

Changes Made

 1. **External-DNS Integration:**
 
   - Added External-DNS to the full deployment bundles.

- Configured External-DNS to automatically manage DNS records for
services within the Kubernetes cluster ( we must discuss how to
configure external-dns via configmap or create an application in tenant
`external-dns` where we can define values).

We must define some additional annotations for ingresses in order to
make external-dns work , so we must discuss this also which is best
method to configure it ( from configmap or dashboard ).

**2. dns01 ClusterIssuer for Cloudflare:**

- Implemented support for a dns01 ClusterIssuer using Cloudflare.
- This allows for automated certificate issuance via DNS challenge,
leveraging Cloudflare as the DNS provider.
- The configuration can be defined in the Cozystack ConfigMap

3. Default Ingress Configuration: 

- Updated the default Ingress resources to use Cloudflare for DNS
challenges.
- Ensured that if the Cloudflare issuer is defined in the Cozystack
ConfigMap, it will be utilized for all default Ingresses, streamlining
the deployment process and improving reliability.

**Benefits**

- Automated DNS Management: With External-DNS, DNS entries will be
created and updated automatically based on the state of Kubernetes
resources, reducing manual overhead.
- Seamless Certificate Management: The dns01 ClusterIssuer integration
allows for automated SSL/TLS certificate issuance, enhancing security
for deployed applications.
- Flexibility in Configuration: Users can easily switch between
different issuers by updating the Cozystack ConfigMap, providing
flexibility in the choice of DNS and certificate management solutions.
