Tim Gross b25f1b66ce resources: allow job authors to configure size of secrets tmpfs (#23696)
On supported platforms, the secrets directory is a 1MiB tmpfs. But some tasks
need larger space for downloading large secrets. This is especially the case for
tasks using `templates`, which need extra room to write a temporary file to the
secrets directory that gets renamed to the old file atomically.

This changeset allows increasing the size of the tmpfs in the `resources`
block. Because this is a memory resource, we need to include it in the memory we
allocate for scheduling purposes. The task is already prevented from using more
memory in the tmpfs than the `resources.memory` field allows, but can bypass
that limit by writing to the tmpfs via `template` or `artifact` blocks.

Therefore, we need to account for the size of the tmpfs in the allocation
resources. Simply adding it to the memory needed when we create the allocation
allows it to be accounted for in all downstream consumers, and then we'll
subtract that amount from the memory resources just before configuring the task
driver.

For backwards compatibility, the default value of 1MiB is "free" and ignored by
the scheduler. Otherwise we'd be increasing the allocated resources for every
existing alloc, which could cause problems across upgrades. If a user explicitly
sets `resources.secrets = 1` it will no longer be free.
