cmd/k8s-operator: workload identity support for multi-tailnet (#20016)

This commit modifies the reconciler for the `Tailnet` custom resource
to allow referenced secrets to specify an `audience` field. If a
referenced secret contains both an `audience` and `client_id` we assume
the user's intention is to use workload identity.

In that case, we configure the tailscale API client to authenticate
using the Kubernetes token request API against the operator's service
account. This requires the operator to be aware of its own service
account name.

A small change has also been made to the messages added to the `Tailnet`
CRD's status field in the even that it is missing scopes to make it
clearer that certain scopes may not be applied.

Closes: #19090
Updates: #19471
