it is possible to configure podAnnotations for the `drone-runner-kube` pod thru the helm charts, but I’m looking for a way to have this setting propagate to the pods that get spun up as part of a build.

Our use case is that we use the kiam project to give pods iam roles, which are specified using pod annotations. We do this so that build pods can log on to ECR (used for storing docker images) and a few s3 buckets used as part of the build process.

I’m aware that I can set `metadata.annotations` directly in the `.drone.yml` file in each repo, but I’d much rather have this controlled centrally.
