update(falco): support latest changes in falco-driver-loader

The init container, when driver.kind=auto, automatically generates a new Falco configuration file and selects the appropriate engine kind based on the environment where Falco is deployed. With this commit, along with falcoctl PR #630, the Helm charts now support different driver kinds for Falco instances based on the specific node they are running on. When driver.kind=auto is set, each Falco instance dynamically selects the most suitable driver (e.g., ebps, kmod, modern_ebpf) for the node. +-------------------------------------------------------+ | Kubernetes Cluster | | | | +-------------------+ +-------------------+ | | | Node 1 | | Node 2 | | | | | | | | | | Falco (ebpf) | | Falco (kmod) | | | +-------------------+ +-------------------+ | | | | +-------------------+ | | | Node 3 | | | | | | | | Falco (modern_ebpf)| | | +-------------------+ | +-------------------------------------------------------+ Signed-off-by: Aldo Lacuku <[email protected]>

+* The init container, when driver.kind=auto, automatically generates
+  a new Falco configuration file and selects the appropriate engine
+  kind based on the environment where Falco is deployed.

+  With this commit, along with falcoctl PR #630, the Helm charts now 
+  support different driver kinds for Falco instances based on the 
+  specific node they are running on. When driver.kind=auto is set,
+  each Falco instance dynamically selects the most suitable 
+  driver (e.g., ebpf, kmod, modern_ebpf) for the node.
