This patch make the operator look for the "alpha.cnpg.io/unrecoverable=true"
annotation in the PG instance Pods.
If such an annotation is detected, the operator will destroy the PVCs
and the Pod itself and recreate it from the other instances.

This annotation is available only for replica instances.

This patch introduces the annotation `alpha.cnpg.io/unrecoverable=true`,
which can be added to any replica instance Pod.
When this annotation is present, the operator will permanently delete
the associated instance by removing both the PVCs and the Pod itself.
Following this, the operator will recreate the missing instance from the
primary instance.

Please note that this annotation is available only for replica
instances.
