ability to set annotations+labels on pods created by argocd

[Morriz]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Hi, we need to set annotations on any pods running on our cluster, but I can't find the option to do so on pods deployed by argo.

Describe the solution you'd like
Something like:

apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: ArgoCD
...
controller:
  podAnnotations:
    some: anno
  labels:
    some: label
...
server:
  podAnnotations:
    ana: da

A better question to ask is: Why does the operator not support the exact same options as the helm charts? Istio Operator does the same, as do other operators. It would be trivial and super beneficial

@Morriz I agree it is very useful, but I see a concern with operator reconciling the labels and annotations. There is a good chance that operator may removes annotations/labels set by admission controllers. WDYT ?

That is a matter of having a mature operator that allows for labels it does not manage. That is why one namespaces them, in order to filter.

LGTM. Would you like to work on this one ? If not I can add the label help-wanted and remove traige-required.

Thanks @Morriz

I am no Go dev unfortunately, and my calendar is rather full ;|

#1532 implemented support to add custom annotations and labels on Argo CD component pods created by Operator. New fields are introduced in ArgoCD CR to support this. Refer custom_labels_annotations.md for more details.

It will be available in upcoming 0.13.0 release .
