fix(config): change default admin email - BED-8189

[cami-specter]

Description

Changes the default admin email address in BHCE from spam@example.com to admin@example.com.

• updates hardcoded default in NewDefaultAdminConfiguration
• updates example docker-compose config
• updates local-harnesses template
• updates helm template
• BHE changes to local-harnesses/helm templates. PR:

Note

The docs repo also has one reference to spam@example.com. Will mention this to update it at deployment time.

Motivation and Context

A different default admin email (shown to users on first setup) was requested in BED-8189

How Has This Been Tested?

• Ran pfc
• Ran integration tests for BHCE (known flaky test failures)
• Ran unit tests
• There are no other references to spam@example.com except for ui tests that just use it as a testcase.

See note above for reference in bloodhound-docs
