Proposed changes

This pull request updates the changelog to document several new features, security improvements, and bug fixes for the Kubernetes Ingress Controller. The changes highlight enhancements to Helm chart configuration, event filtering, error handling, and reporting behavior, as well as general security hardening.

Enhancements and Features:

• Added support for additional controller services in the Helm chart, allowing for more flexible deployment configurations.

Bug Fixes and Behavior Improvements:

• Improved event filtering to only process ingress controller events when updating status, reducing unnecessary updates.
• Fixed a nil pointer panic that could occur when a namespace is no longer watched, improving controller stability.
• Enhanced reporting and logging: emits warnings and default listener ports when custom resources are disabled, and warns when route selectors match no virtual server routes.
