The CONFIG_TEMPLATE_DIRECTORY redirect from the previous commit doesn't
work - confirmed live that extraVolumes is a dead values key for the
Praefect subchart specifically (its statefulset.yaml never calls the
gitlab.extraVolumes helper in its volumes: list, only volumeMounts
calls the corresponding helper - a real chart limitation, not a config
mistake). A dangling volumeMount with no matching volume would have
failed to schedule.
Real fix: ignoreDifferences on ConfigMap gitlab-praefect's data field
(argocd-apps/apps/gitlab.yaml) lets Helm create the object normally
while ArgoCD stops reconciling its content afterward - the actual
config gets kubectl-patched onto the live object directly.
praefect-ha-configmap.yaml is now a git-tracked reference/documentation
copy (deployed under its own harmless name) rather than something
Helm/ArgoCD wires in on its own.

Proves the CONFIG_TEMPLATE_DIRECTORY redirect works before Phase 2b
adds any actual cross-site dependency. Content is byte-identical to
the chart's current rendering (confirmed live) - this commit only
tests the override plumbing itself: a new ConfigMap
(praefect-ha-configmap.yaml) mounted at a different path than the
chart's own /etc/gitaly/templates (can't reuse that path/volume name -
Kubernetes rejects duplicates), with CONFIG_TEMPLATE_DIRECTORY
overridden via extraEnv to point at it instead (last-wins env
semantics, confirmed Kubernetes-documented behavior).
Also removes gitlab.praefect.virtualStorages - confirmed live dead
config, global.praefect.virtualStorages is what the chart's template
actually reads.
