blinkagent[bot] 892b226837 fix(helm): allow overriding CODER_PPROF_ADDRESS and CODER_PROMETHEUS_ADDRESS (#21714)
## Summary

Previously, `CODER_PPROF_ADDRESS` and `CODER_PROMETHEUS_ADDRESS` were
hardcoded in the Helm chart template to `0.0.0.0:6060` and
`0.0.0.0:2112` respectively. These values could not be overridden via
`coder.env` values because the hardcoded values were set first in the
template, and Kubernetes uses the first occurrence of duplicate env
vars.

This was a security concern because binding to `0.0.0.0` exposes these
endpoints to any pod in the cluster:
- **pprof** can expose sensitive runtime information (goroutine stacks,
heap profiles, CPU profiles that may contain memory contents)
- **Prometheus metrics** may contain sensitive operational data

## Changes

1. **`helm/coder/templates/_coder.tpl`**: Added logic to check if the
user has set `CODER_PPROF_ADDRESS` or `CODER_PROMETHEUS_ADDRESS` in
`coder.env` before applying the default values. If the user provides a
value, the hardcoded default is skipped.

2. **`helm/coder/values.yaml`**: Updated documentation to:
   - Remove these vars from the "cannot be overridden" list
- Add them to a new "can be overridden" section with security
recommendations

3. **Tests**: Added test cases for both override scenarios with
corresponding golden files.

## Usage

Users can now restrict pprof and prometheus to localhost only:

```yaml
coder:
  env:
    - name: CODER_PPROF_ADDRESS
      value: "127.0.0.1:6060"
    - name: CODER_PROMETHEUS_ADDRESS  
      value: "127.0.0.1:2112"
```

## Local Testing

To verify the fix locally:

```bash
# Update helm dependencies
cd helm/coder && helm dependency update

# Test default behavior (should show 0.0.0.0)
helm template coder . -f tests/testdata/default_values.yaml --namespace default | grep -A1 'CODER_PPROF_ADDRESS\|CODER_PROMETHEUS_ADDRESS'

# Test pprof override (should show 127.0.0.1:6060)
helm template coder . -f tests/testdata/pprof_address_override.yaml --namespace default | grep -A1 'CODER_PPROF_ADDRESS'

# Test prometheus override (should show 127.0.0.1:2112)
helm template coder . -f tests/testdata/prometheus_address_override.yaml --namespace default | grep -A1 'CODER_PROMETHEUS_ADDRESS'

# Run Go tests
cd tests && go test . -v
```

Fixes #21713
