DRA e2e: use VAP to control "admin access" permissions

The advantages of using a validation admission policy (VAP) are that no changes
are needed in Kubernetes and that admins have full flexibility if and how they
want to control which users are allowed to use "admin access" in their
requests.

The downside is that without admins taking actions, the feature is enabled
out-of-the-box in a cluster. Documentation for DRA will have to make it very
clear that something needs to be done in multi-tenant clusters.

The test/e2e/testing-manifests/dra/admin-access-policy.yaml shows how to do
this. The corresponding E2E tests ensures that it actually works as intended.

For some reason, adding the namespace to the message expression leads to a
type check errors, so it's currently commented out.
