Assert the Certificate issuer in the secure-default case.

The test verifies that nvcf-pki is enabled, but it does not verify the rendered Certificate issuerRef. A regression can select another issuer while this case still passes. Assert kind: ClusterIssuer and name: nvcf-openbao-pki from the rendered Certificate.
