What does this PR do? What is the motivation?

Fixes DOCS-11896

Adds a warning callout to both the Kubernetes and Helm tabs of the Ingress-NGINX proxy setup page, noting that version tags on the ingress-nginx-injection init container image are rolling tags. The underlying Datadog NGINX module may be updated while the tag stays the same. Users who need to pin an exact version should reference the image by digest.

This addresses Hotjar feedback from a user who experienced an outage when the module updated unexpectedly under a stable tag.

Additional notes

Warn users that version tags on the ingress-nginx-injection image are
rolling tags and the underlying Datadog NGINX module may update. Suggest
using image digests to pin exact versions.
