Checks

• [X] This isn't a question or user support case (For Q&A and community support, go to Discussions).
• [X] I've read the Changelog before submitting this issue and I'm sure it's not due to any recently-introduced backward-incompatible changes

To Reproduce

Install ARC Controller + Runner set 0.9.2
define ACTIONS_RUNNER_CONTAINER_HOOK_TEMPLATE with the podTemplate, and containerMode: "Kubernetes"
define a pod template like this

apiVersion: v1
data:
  default.yml: |
    "apiVersion": "v1"
    "kind": "PodTemplate"
    "metadata":
      "name": "runner-pod-template"
    "spec":
      "containers":
      - "name": "$job"
        "resources":
          "limits":
            "cpu": "3000m"
          "requests":
            "cpu": "3000m"

Describe the bug

GHA jobs fail instantly if a pod is unscheduable due to waiting for node to become available (if the resource request for CPU/Memory is high, waiting for the node autoscaler)

Describe the expected behavior

There should be a timeout field either in the runner set or container hooks podtemplate that allows the workflow pod to wait for x minutes till the pod is scheduled after another node is alive.
