Support for HashiCorp Vault Secrets in VectorPipeline

[Enorshionari]

Currently, when working with the Vector logging operator within kind: Vectorpipeline, we face a limitation in handling credentials. While we store credentials directly in the Vector Custom Resource Definition (CRD), the VectorPipeline configuration references these credentials through variable links.

We suggest integrating support for HashiCorp Vault to manage secrets in a more secure and efficient manner within the VectorPipeline configuration. This enhancement should allow the use of Vault secrets directly within kind: Vectorpipeline.

• Strengthened security through centralized secret management.
• Elimination of hardcoded sensitive information in CRDs.
• Alignment with best practices for managing confidential data.
