runAsNonRoot

By default, the chart forces this securityContext as default:

securityContext:
  readOnlyRootFilesystem: true
  runAsNonRoot: true

• FR: Enforce running containers as non-root user by default
• Without explicit securityContext definition images that are configured to run as root by default will produce this error: container has runAsNonRoot and image will run as root
