Grant RBAC permissions to non-aerospike Kubernetes namespaces​

caution

OLM-based installations (OperatorHub.io and on RedHat OpenShift) have a known issue with upgrading from version 2.3.0 to 2.4.0. This upgrade scenario revokes the RBAC privileges required to run Aerospike clusters in Kubernetes namespaces other than the aerospike namespace.

If you are upgrading from 2.3.0 to 2.4.0 and are running Aerospike clusters in Kubernetes namespaces other than the aerospike namespace, follow these instructions to restore the required RBAC privileges.
