Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
If a workload (e.g. Deployment or StatefulSet) is deployed into a cluster via Flux, then setting the restartedAt annotation will trigger a second rollout at some point in the future when Flux reconciles the configuration.
This is also a problem if you use kubectl (or any other tooling) to trigger a rollout or otherwise modify the deployment template.
The solution is to configure the field manager as flux-client-side-apply when setting the annotation.
Describe the solution you'd like
Make the Field Manager configurable when applying the rollout restart annotation.
I'm not sure where this would be configured ideally, I can see 3 options at least
a) As a config flag/env var on the operator pod itself
b) A field in the CRD e.g. spec.rolloutRestartTargets[{ kind: 'Deployment', name: 'foobar', fieldManager: 'flux-client-side-apply'}]
c) An annotation on the target workload - vso.secrets.hashicorp.com/fieldManager: 'flux-client-side-apply'
I've tested this works by just hardcoding the field manager and deploying the custom operator to a dev environment
