feat(annotations): add custom annotation prefix support for split horizon DNS (#5889)
* feat(annotations): add custom annotation prefix support for split horizon DNS

Add --annotation-prefix flag to allow customizing the annotation prefix
used by external-dns. This enables split horizon DNS scenarios where
multiple instances process different sets of annotations from the same
Kubernetes resources.

Changes:
- Add AnnotationPrefix field to Config with validation
- Convert annotation constants to variables that can be reconfigured
- Add SetAnnotationPrefix() function to rebuild annotation keys
- Integrate annotation prefix setting in controller startup
- Update Helm chart with annotationPrefix value
- Add comprehensive split horizon DNS documentation
- Update FAQ with annotation prefix examples

This maintains full backward compatibility - the default prefix remains
"external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/".

* docs(advanced): fix markdown formatting in split-horizon guide

Add blank lines before code blocks to improve markdown rendering
and comply with markdownlint rules.

* test: add AnnotationPrefix field to test configs

Add missing AnnotationPrefix field to minimalConfig and overriddenConfig
test configurations to match the new default value set in NewConfig().

* test(charts): update error pattern in json-schema test

Update expected error message pattern to match current Helm validation
output format.

* refactor(annotations): remove init() for explicit initialization

- Remove init() function from annotations package
- Add explicit SetAnnotationPrefix() call in controller/execute.go
- Remove annotation key aliases from source/source.go
- Replace all alias usages with annotations.* references (348 changes in 28 files)
- Add TestMain to existing test files (service_test.go, cloudflare_test.go)

This change makes annotation initialization explicit and predictable,
avoiding hidden global state initialization at import time.

* refactor(annotations): replace hardcoded annotation prefix with constant

Replace all hardcoded "external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/" strings
with annotations.DefaultAnnotationPrefix constant to establish
a single source of truth.

Changes:
- Add DefaultAnnotationPrefix constant in source/annotations/annotations.go
- Replace hardcoded string in controller/execute.go with constant reference
- Replace hardcoded strings in pkg/apis/externaldns/types.go (2 occurrences)
- Add helm unit tests for annotationPrefix value

This eliminates string duplication and makes future changes easier.
