docs: replace hardcoded namespace with <your-namespace> placeholder

* docs: update Headlamp install namespace references from kube-system to headlamp

Updates all documentation references to the Headlamp install namespace
from kube-system to headlamp as part of PRI-433.

In-scope files updated:
- README.md, SECURITY.md
- docs/getting-started/installation.md, quick-start.md, prerequisites.md
- docs/deployment/helm.md, kubernetes.md, production.md
- docs/troubleshooting/README.md, common-issues.md, rbac-issues.md
- docs/user-guide/configuration.md, rbac-permissions.md
- docs/TESTING.md, TROUBLESHOOTING.md, DEPLOYMENT.md

Out-of-scope (unchanged):
- Source files referencing upstream workload namespace
- RBAC manifests describing Polaris namespace (polaris ns is unchanged)
- NetworkPolicy namespaceSelector (API server runs in kube-system)
- design-decisions.md and ARCHITECTURE.md (URL hashes refer to cluster namespaces, not Headlamp install ns)

Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>

* fix: correct RBAC manifest per QA review (PRI-555)

- Remove rbac.authorization.k8s.io privilege escalation block
- Fix orphaned comment from round 1
- Add EOF newline
- Keep serviceaccounts/token for E2E auth (confirmed needed)
- Namespace already correct (privilegedescalation-dev)

Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>

* docs: replace hardcoded namespace with <your-namespace> placeholder

Users choose their own namespace for Headlamp. Replace all hardcoded
namespace references (headlamp, kube-system) in user-facing docs with
<your-namespace> so users substitute their own value.

Conventions:
- Helm install: --namespace <your-namespace> --create-namespace
- kubectl commands: -n <your-namespace>
- YAML metadata: namespace: <your-namespace>
- Prose: "the namespace where Headlamp is installed"

Out-of-scope references left untouched:
- kube-system in NetworkPolicy selectors (API server namespace)
- polaris namespace references (upstream workload namespace)
- Source code and test files

Refs: PRI-433

Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>

* docs: fix remaining hardcoded headlamp namespace to <your-namespace> placeholder

Prior commit was inconsistent — some files used <your-namespace> while
DEPLOYMENT.md, TROUBLESHOOTING.md and several troubleshooting/user-guide
docs still hardcoded headlamp as the namespace.
