Ensure new config item can be set via `fleetctl apply`

[lukeheath]

Problem

In Fleet Desktop, the current "Transparency" link opens the contributor's (end user's) browser and sends them to fleetdm.com/transparency:

Customers want to direct their end users to their own transparency-related resource.

Goal

As a fleet security admin,
I want to be able to specify a custom URL for the "Transparency" link
So that I have control over how I tell contributors (end users) at my organization what information we collect using Fleet.

How?

• Let the user update this URL via the Fleet UI (see Figma) and fleetctl CLI

• Ensure the new config.fleet_desktop.transparency_url value can be set via fleetctl apply for premium users only.

Example

apiVersion: v1
kind: config
spec:
  fleet_desktop:
    transparency_url: "https://example.com"

@gillespi314 Assigning to you for a point estimate. Just let me know if you have any questions.

I'm not 100% certain how fleetctl works. Does it interact with the Fleet API, or does it modify the database directly? If it modifies the db directly, then it is not blocked by the API work and we can remove the :blocked label.
