feat(answer): upgrade apache answer to 2.0.2

[mberlofa]

Summary

• upgrades the official Apache Answer image from 2.0.1 to 2.0.2
• exposes the new-question email queue size and send interval as typed chart values
• validates the new values with unit, schema, template, and behavioral k3d scenarios
• updates the chart README and synchronizes the site documentation in docs(answer): document 2.0.2 notification controls site#458

Closes #831.

Upstream review

• release: https://github.com/apache/answer/releases/tag/v2.0.2
• comparison: apache/answer@v2.0.1...v2.0.2
• image: docker.io/apache/answer:2.0.2, verified for linux/amd64 and linux/arm64

Answer 2.0.2 adds reasoning content in AI chat, optional email verification, recovery middleware, configurable new-question email delivery, and several authorization and account-hardening fixes. The release does not change the chart's port, storage path, or database contract.

User impact

The upgrade is backward compatible with the existing defaults. Operators may now configure:

• answer.notifications.newQuestionEmail.queueSize (1 to 65536, default 1024)

Validation

• make image-verify IMAGE=docker.io/apache/answer:2.0.2
• make deps-check CHART=answer
• make validate-chart CHART=answer
  • 19 layers passed
  • 10 behavioral k3d scenarios passed
  • all workloads Ready, zero restarts, clean crash/fatal log scan
  • default, backup, external database, External Secrets, Gateway API, Ingress, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and new email-worker scenarios covered
• schema rejection verified for queue size 0 and interval 301
• make standards-check CHART=answer
• node scripts/charts/template-standards-check.js --chart answer
• make site-sync-check CHART=answer
