vdk-core: support overriding configs with secrets

Why?

VDK doesn't provide a way to set sensitive configuration like passwords, such as trino_password.
The only way to currently do this is by adding config keys and fetching the values from secrets.

What?

Add a plugin that reconfigures the Configuration object in CoreContext based on secrets. Do this
in the initialize_job hook. In this setup, secrets override options set by regular configs. For example
if you set trino_password to "password" in config.ini, but also have a secret called trino_passowrd="another password",
the value of trino_password will be "another_passowrd".

How was this tested?

Functional test
CI/CD

What kind of change is this?
