cmd/containerboot: allow disabling secret storage in k8s.

In some configurations, user explicitly do not want to store
tailscale state in k8s secrets, because doing that leads to
some annoying permission issues with sidecar containers.
With this change, TS_KUBE_SECRET="" and TS_STATE_DIR=/foo
will force storage to file when running in kubernetes.

Fixes #6704.
