astro-stan e892b37565 feat(common): Add support for setting extra env to CNPG pods (#40673)
**Description**
<!--
Please include a summary of the change and which issue is fixed. Please
also include relevant motivation and context. List any dependencies that
are required for this change.
-->

This PR adds the ability to set extra environment variables to CNPG
pods.

I need this, as I need to set the `HTTP_PROXY`, `HTTPS_PROXY` and
`NO_PROXY` envs to the CNPG pods, so that backup/restore goes through my
Gluetun proxy.

This PR only adds support for CNPG, as with Volsync, this can be done by
setting environment variables on the Volsync controller itself (see
[release
notes](https://github.com/backube/volsync/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md#061)
for more info).

This PR, along with the other PRs I opened recently (#40000 , #40385,
#40523 , #40668) should be the last piece of the puzzle needed for
enabling backup/restore of clusters using a remote self-hosted S3
server.

**⚙️ Type of change**

- [X] ⚙️ Feature/App addition
- [ ] 🪛 Bugfix
- [ ] ⚠️ Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing
functionality to not work as expected)
- [ ] 🔃 Refactor of current code
- [ ] 📜 Documentation Changes

**🧪 How Has This Been Tested?**
<!--
Please describe the tests that you ran to verify your changes. Provide
instructions so we can reproduce. Please also list any relevant details
for your test configuration
-->

What I have tested:

- Rendered a chart with various combinations of CNPG envs set and looked
ad produced output
- Tested along with the other PRs (#40523, #40668) to verify backup up
to my S3 server works though the Gluetun proxy

**📃 Notes:**
<!-- Please enter any other relevant information here -->

Note that these changes should not affect any work related towards the
migration to the CNPG's new plugin-based barman. As per the [migration
guide](https://cloudnative-pg.io/plugin-barman-cloud/docs/migration/),
the required changes are primarily to export the keys under the
`barmanObjectStore` to a new CRD called `ObjectStore`. The `env` and
`envFrom` keys added in this PR are outside this dictionary; thus, they
should not require any changes when adding support for the new
plugin-based barman.
