cmd/k8s-operator: allow setting same host value for tls and ingress rules

We were too strict and required the user not specify the host field at all
in the ingress rules, but that degrades compatibility with existing helm charts.

Relax the constraint so that rule.Host can either be empty, or match the tls.Host[0]
value exactly.

Fixes #9548
