Add commonAnnotations to Cassandra metadata

[ClusterJan]

What is missing?

There should be a commonAnnotations field in the cassandra.metadata section of the ressource K8ssandraCluster.

Why do we need it?

Other operators in our Kubernetes cluster are interfering with the resources created by the cass-operator, and we need to add annotations to exclude these resources from the other operators.

Environment

• K8ssandra Operator version:

  v1.9.1

Anything else we need to know?:
No.

Looks very usefull for argocd.

From discussions internally and reviewing the conversations on discord, it looks like what is being asked for here is annotations for the statefulset, pods etc. coming from cass-operator.

I was originally going to implement this in k8ssandra-operator, but

1. Annotating the podTemplateSpec won't necessarily annotate the statefulSet itself.
2. There is a preference amongst the rest of the team for adding an AdditionalAnnotations field in the cass-operator CRD instead of doing this via the podTemplateeSpec.

I'll raise a ticket on cass-operator first, then expose this in k8ssandra-operator as a second step. Note that this won't change annotations on other resources created by k8ssandra-operator, but my understanding is that fields already exist to control annotations for the other resources.
