Middleware.io K8s agent: Helm install fails on existing OTel Operator CRDs

Export

the bundled OTel Operator CRDs conflict with ones already installed.

[Middleware K8s agent docs]: the bundled OTel Operator CRDs conflict with ones already installed. Either delete the existing CRDs (opentelemetrycollectors, instrumentations, targetallocators, opampbridges) and let the Middleware chart manage them, or keep yours and pass the flag that skips CRD creation; note the latter can break if your CRD versions do not match what the bundled operator expects. Set the Helm value that regenerates certificates on upgrade to avoid cert rotation failures.

Context: The Middleware Kubernetes agent Helm install fails with 'unable to continue with install: CustomResourceDefinition targetallocators.opentelemetry.io in namespace exists and cannot be imported'.
