Subject: [PATCH] feat(backup): add GKE backup configuration variables

Introduce new variables for GKE backup configuration, including `backup_cron_schedule`, `backup_rpo_target_in_minutes`, `backup_config`, and `backup_retain_days`. These new settings enable backup schedule definition, RPO configuration, volume data and secrets backup options, and backup retention period definition.
