the pod create by drone-controller all have `ifNotPresent` policy, how to change it?

```bash
# kubectl -n `kubectl get ns |grep -vE 'd$|NAME' |awk '{print $1}'` get pod -o yaml |grep "imagePullPolicy"
      imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
      imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent

```

The `pull` attribute is an enumeration, not a boolean. It can be set to `always`, `never` or `if-not-exists`

Thanks, set `pull: always` works.

But I think if an image without tag or with tag `latest`, the pull policy should set to `always` automatically
