Add capability to set environment variables from K8s secrets from APIConnectCluster

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

It seems that the APIConnectCluster and AnalyticsCluster CRs do not support injecting environment variables from secrets.  We can inject environment variables, just not from secrets.

We are using logstash to offload analytics data.  The endpoint that we are offloading data to requires an api key, which is rotated periodically.  We are currently hard-coding the api key in the offload config in the AnalyticsCluster CR.  When the api-key is rotated, the Secret is automatically updated, but then we need to manually update the AnalyticsCluster CR or else we cannot offload data.

The AnalyticsCR should automatically inject the value of the secret into the pod as an environment variable.  This is described here: https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/inject-data-application/distribute-credentials-secure/.

Here is some sample configuration from the AnalyticsClusterCR.  It assumes there is a secret in the same namespace called `MY_SECRET_OFFLOAD_API_KEY` with a field `api-key`.

spec:
  template:
    - name: a7s-ingestion
      containers:
      - name: ingestion
        env:
        - name: MY_SECRET_OFFLOAD_API_KEY
          valueFrom:
            secretKeyRef:
              name: My-K8s-Secret-Name-Here
              key: api-key
