Description of changes:

The AWS ACK Helm chart generates "volumes": null when no static secret .Values.aws.credentials.secretName or no extra volume .Values.deployment.extraVolumes was set. This can cause issues during the deployment, particularly with admission controllers such as policy engines. An example issue can be found here kyverno/policies#1310 by Kyverno.

This PR solves such problems without using a workaround, like deploying an unused emptyDir.

Hi @blanchardma. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a aws-controllers-k8s member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

volumeMounts has a similar pattern. Should it also be omitted when .Values.aws.credentials.secretName and .Values.deployment.extraVolumeMounts are not set?

Issue [#2583](aws-controllers-k8s/community#2583) 

Description of changes:

This PR addresses an issue encountered when rendering a Helm chart that includes additional volumes, such as an emptyDir. The change ensures with `-` that leading whitespace is trimmed and using `nindent` instead of `indent` prevents unwanted blank lines. The issue originates from the following pull request #608.

To manually validate the fix of this PR in a chart based on the code-generator follow the steps below:
```
# Pull and extract the ACM chart, which is based on the code-generator: 
$ helm pull oci://public.ecr.aws/aws-controllers-k8s/acm-chart --version 1.0.14 && tar -xzf acm-chart-1.0.14.tgz

# Apply the fix from this PR to the chart
$ sed -i '208s|.*|        {{- toYaml .Values.deployment.extraVolumes \| nindent 8 }}|' ./acm-chart/templates/deployment.yaml

# Render the chart and verify the output:
$ helm template ./acm-chart --set deployment.extraVolumes[0].name=test --set deployment.extraVolumes[0].emptyDir.sizeLimit=1Mi

# Expected output snippet:
...
      hostPID: false
      hostNetwork: false
      dnsPolicy: ClusterFirst
      volumes:
        - emptyDir:
            sizeLimit: 1Mi
          name: test
```

To reproduce the issue with the current version, refer to the steps outlined in the mentioned issue at top.
