Epic Goal

Deprecate .spec.initialRepositories & spec.repositoryCredentials fields in the ArgoCD CRD and plan their removal according to the upstream timeline.

Github Issue: https://github.com/argoproj-labs/argocd-operator/issues/1535 

Why is this important?

Support for repo configs in argocd-cm is already deprecated in upstream and planned(argoproj/argo-cd#19768) to be removed in Argo CD v3.0. Operator supports this upstream feature via .spec.initialRepositories & spec.repositoryCredentials fields in ArgoCD CR.

• https://argocd-operator.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/argocd/#initial-repositories

Other Considerations

Do we want to continue supporting these fields in the operator by using a different internal mechanism to create the required repos and repo credentials in Argo CD?
