Add support for priorityClassName in affinityAssistantPodTemplate

This will add the support for specifying priorityClassName
for affinity assistant pods. Also can specify default
value in defaultAffinityAssistant pod template

this will help to specify same priorityClassName for
affinity assistant pods and task run pods, so all get
scheduled with same priority
