Adds ComponentCredentials field to VCenter type to allow specifying separate credentials for each OpenShift component (machine-api, CSI driver, cloud controller, diagnostics). This enables least-privilege security by allowing different vCenter accounts with minimal permissions for each component.

The installer can now:

  • Load component credentials from ~/.vsphere/credentials file (INI format)
  • Fall back to main VCenter username/password if not specified
  • Generate separate credential secrets for each component
  • Validate credential file permissions (must be 0600)

Components affected:

  • machine-api-operator
  • vSphere CSI driver
  • Cloud controller manager
  • vsphere-problem-detector
