terraform-k8s & Kubernetes Version

terraform-k8s: 1.1.0
Kubernetes: 1.21

Expected Behavior

We want to deploy operator instances in a different namespace to the one they manage. This is so that developers who have control over that namespace are able to deploy Workspace CRDs into it but are unable to see/manage the Terraform operator instance.

The leader election ID should be set dynamically and should be unique per instance of the helm chart.

Actual Behavior

The leader election ID is hard-coded so all instances of the operator will share the same ID.

Steps to Reproduce

Deploy 2 instances of the operator into the same namespace that both monitor 2 different namespaces. Only one will be monitoring its namespace (the one that won the election).
