jklein e1adcef71f feat!: NetworkPolicy in nine more charts, on by default ...

bulwark, calibre-web-automated, patchmon, rallly, urlaubsverwaltung,
voucher-vault, zipline, sure, homeassistant. One major each.

These are the charts with real outbound dependencies, and they all share one
limitation that is now written into every one of them: THE EGRESS PORTS ARE THE
STANDARD ONES, NOT THE CONFIGURED ONES. Databases, caches and OIDC issuers
arrive as connection URLs or as fields inside 1Password items that the charts
never parse, so a chart cannot know where its dependency listens and cannot
validate a guess. A dependency somewhere else is blocked, and
networkPolicy.egress.extraPorts is the escape hatch. That is the upgrade risk
of this rollout, stated per chart instead of discovered per release.

Four of them differ in ways that mattered:

HOMEASSISTANT gets policyTypes: [Ingress] and NO egress section at all, and
that is the decision in the file rather than an omission. Its outbound traffic
is the union of every integration an operator enables - mDNS and SSDP
discovery, MQTT, a Zigbee or Z-Wave bridge on whatever port its firmware chose,
ESPHome, printers, speakers, inverters, cloud APIs, NTP - which no chart can
know. A cap would protect little, since the devices sit on the node's own LAN,
and would break integrations one at a time, months apart, each looking like a
flaky device rather than like a policy. So valkey's rule applies in the other
direction: policyTypes names only what there is something to restrict.

URLAUBSVERWALTUNG allows BOTH 5432 and 3306, deliberately. It is handed a full
JDBC URL inside a 1Password item and never parses it, so it cannot tell
PostgreSQL from MariaDB - and this cluster runs both. Allowing one would break
half the possible deployments on upgrade, with the symptom buried in a Java
stack trace. A small widening against a large and silent failure.

RALLLY derives its SMTP rule from rallly.smtp.enabled rather than always
rendering it: with mail switched off there is nothing to permit, and a rule
that permits nothing makes the object look stricter than it is.

BULWARK is the chart where the cap can fail most quietly. Its probes test its
own port and say nothing about the JMAP server, so a jmapServerUrl on a port
the policy does not allow yields a Ready pod serving an empty webmail. 443 is
allowed, Stalwart's in-cluster 8080 is not, and both halves of that are in
values.yaml and NOTES.txt.

PATCHMON and HOMEASSISTANT select their pods by the BARE release-and-chart
label, with no -deployment or -sfs suffix. Copying a selector from a
neighbouring chart would have matched nothing and left a policy that filters
nothing - which is precisely the first assertion of the render test.

Five CI fixtures gain networkPolicy.egress.extraPorts, and they are the only
place in the repository where the cap's cost is actually exercised: the CI dex
runs on 5556 rather than 443 (patchmon, rallly, urlaubsverwaltung,
voucher-vault) and the CI JMAP server on plain 8080 (bulwark).
