Subject: [PATCH] Add Kyverno PolicyExceptions for third-party charts

ArgoCD, NetBird operator, and Scylla Manager are upstream Helm charts
that don't set resource limits, probes, drop-all capabilities, or
disable SA token automount. These audit-mode policy violations inflated
the cumulative Prometheus failure counter to ~3800.

- argocd: exempt from require-resource-limits, require-probes
- netbird-operator: exempt from require-resource-limits,
  disallow-automount-sa-token, require-probes
- scylla-manager: exempt from require-drop-all-capabilities,
  disallow-automount-sa-token
