When deployed the Secrets Store CSI Driver creates a socket in /etc/kubernetes/secrets-store-csi-providers, the /etc/ path is really meant for configuration files, not unix sockets. The more standard place to put socket files is /var/run/ or somewhere in /tmp If you explore a debian, redhat, or ubuntu box you'll find most sockets are in one of the two.

This can be a problem for Operating System and Security Controls that are protective of a systems /etc contents.

While this can be overridden in the helm chart by setting linux.providersDir the default is re-used in various providers, not all have a method to override it without manually editing the resources.

I would recommend modifying the default and cutting a major release to signify a breaking change to downstream projects.

feat: support provider paths under /var/run
4ef4ef6 
This allows the driver to check multiple paths when looking for a provider,
addressing kubernetes-sigs#823 as the semantically correct path is /var not /etc.

-additional-provider-volume-paths is added to so that providers that have not
migrated to the /var location will continue to operate.

In a future release when all supported providers are migrated to the /var path
the -additional-provider-volume-paths flag can be removed or changed to an
empty string.
