bloom-builder: new component cannot start up because helm chart is not creating /var/loki path

[diranged]

Describe the bug In https://github.com/grafana/loki/pull/14003/files the bloom-compactor was replaced by the bloom-builder and bloom-planner. The chart removed the storage claims component, but never puts back a /var/loki volume into the bloom-builder deployment object. This cause the Loki app to come up and throw an error about the /var/loki path being a read-only filesystem:

failed to create bloom store: failed to create working directory for bloom store: '/var/loki/blooms': mkdir /var/loki: read-only file system

To Reproduce

1. Turn on the bloomBuilder.enabled flag in the helm chart.
2. Watch the failure occur

If we remove the bloom_build key from our config, the bloom-builder pod starts up... but presumably will not do any work. This is all the config had in it:

bloom_build:
  enabled: true

So we are on Loki 3.1.1 ... but by using the main-20ac1ba image tag, I can get around this... it seems that perhaps the helm chart additions need a Loki release to go along with them??

A Loki release (3.2.0) is planned in the near future (around ObsCon 2024).
