What changes were proposed in this PR?

Recently, we found that leaving empty AUTH_JWT_SECRET is a security vulnerability. To address this issue, the corresponding environment variable added to values.yaml. Also, environment variables are added to access control service since it needs to decrypt user token as well.

Any related issues, documentation, discussions?

Close #4397

@aicam can you explain what this solution is doing?

The reason token can be forged is that we never rewrote the JWT secret default in common/config/src/main/resources/auth.conf, so basically anyone can create a token using default value and user id 1 and use it in the system.

Computing units are created by calling Kubernetes functions and are

pass `AUTH_JWT_SECRET` environment variable previously introduced in
#4388
