oci-hook: allow users to set namespace exceptions and define default

Prior to this commit `kube-system` was always added as an exception in order for Pods in that namespace to be created in the event that the OCI hook was not able to reach the Tetragon agent.
This leads to a deadlock scenario when Tetragon itself is not installed in `kube-system` as the agent won't start and leave the cluster in an unhealthy state.

Instead of always adding `kube-syste` this change will always add the namespace Tetragon is deployed in, to guarantee that the agent can always start.
In addition to that a user can now define additional namespaces as further exceptions.
For example to ensure Pods in business-critical namespaces can still be created even if the OCI hook fails to reach the Tetragon agent.
