delete persistent volume claim

PVCs can be specified using volumeClaimTemplates as part of a pipelineRun.
The pipelineRun controller creates a new PVC using the specifications from
the template. Once the pipelineRun is complete, the PVC exist to faciliate
any analysis on the completed pod. Such PVCs are helpful but requires an
extra cleanup if not needed. In the cases where pipelineRuns are kept for a
long period of time, such PVC can waste resources.

This commit introduces an option for the user such that the users can configure
pipelineRun controller to delete such PVCs. There is no API change needed to
support this cleanup.

PipelineRun/TaskRun controller now reads a label from the volumeClaimTemplate
to decide whether to delete PVC or not. Set the label " pvc-protection-finalizer"
to "remove" to take advantage of this kind of cleanup.

Closes #5776
