operator: various sidecar fixes

Prior to this commit the operator sidecar's decommissioner and pvcunbinder
controllers did not work. This was due to:
- RBAC issues, the sidecar did not correctly scope itself to a single namespace.
- Incorrect label selectors hidden within the controllers in question.

Additionally, the statefulset decommissioner's sole test case has been disabled
for quite sometime. There's been zero test coverage of this functionality.

This commit:
- Restores the decommissioner's tests to a working state
- Strips out the "fetcher" to reduce duplication and remove reliance on
  fetching live helm values.
- Replaces baked in filtering with a label selector argument that will be
  constructed by the helm chart.

A follow up commit with chart changes and acceptance tests will be submitted.
It's been made separate to ease the process of backporting to the v2.x.x
branches.
