charts/redpanda: use new sidecar --selector flag

This commit builds upon a previous commit that added the `--selector` flag to
the sidecar. It updates the chart to appropriate set this new flag and adds
acceptance tests to assert the functionality works as expected.

This commit is separate as the v2.x.x branches need to release the updated
sidecar before it can be used.

(cherry picked from commit 13aeda8)
