TEP-0089: Refactor setting of "enforce-nonfalsifiability" feature flag

In this change, we refactor the code for setting "enforce-nonfalsifiability"
feature flag to make it easier to understand, and consistent with the rest
of the code. This refactor will make it easier to promote the feature to beta,
and beyond.

This change also documents that `enable-api-fields` has to be set to `"alpha"`
for non-falsifiability to work.

 1. Create a SPIRE deployment containing a SPIRE server, SPIRE agents and the SPIRE CSI driver, for convenience, [this sample single cluster deployment](https://github.com/spiffe/spiffe-csi/tree/main/example/config) can be used.
 1. Register the SPIRE workload entry for Tekton with the "Admin" flag, which will allow the Tekton controller to communicate with the SPIRE server to manage the TaskRun identities dynamically.
