Issue:
v1.0.0 vso.secrets.hashicorp.com/restartedAt `rolloutRefreshTargets` causing infinite rollout loop on refreshAfter interval using ArgoCD

**Describe the bug**
This issue was previously encountered in #582. That issue became stale, but the suggested resolution was to include `spec.hmacSecretData: true`. Despite including that spec value I show similar behavior after release of `v1.0.0`.


**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. Deploy an app with this yaml:
```yaml
spec:
  destination:
    create: true
    name: app-secrets
    overwrite: true
  rolloutRestartTargets:
  - kind: Deployment
    name: app
  hmacSecretData: true
  mount: kvv2
  path: app/secrets
  refreshAfter: 120s
  type: kv-v2
  vaultAuthRef: vault-auth
```

2. Watch ArgoCD kick off a deployment at every `spec.refreshAfter` interval. 

**Expected behavior**

**Environment**
* Kubernetes version: 
  * Distribution or cloud vendor (OpenShift, EKS, GKE, AKS, etc.): OpenShift
  * Other configuration options or runtime services (istio, etc.): ArgoCD/ArgoRollouts
* vault-secrets-operator version: v1.0.0

**Additional context**

NOTES: 
- Omission of `spec.refereshAfter` interval causes a new rollout on sub-second intervals.
- Omission of `spec.rolloutRestartTargets` fails to create a rollout when new static secrets versions are synced because `vso.secrets.hashicorp.com/restartedAt` is not updated.
- Inclusion of `spec.hmacSecretData: true` does not force sync to occur as suggested in previous issue #582.



Hints from issue comments:
@joshgubler: Even without `spec.rolloutRestartTargets` set, you can watch `status.conditions` and see that the `lastTransitionTime` on both the `type: Healthy` and the `type: RolloutRestart` conditions update every `spec.refreshAfter` interval. This implies that the Operator believes that the Secret values are constantly needing to be synchronized.

With `spec.refreshAfter: 5s`:

`kubectl get vaultstaticsecrets.secrets.hashicorp.com app-secrets -w -o yaml`

And it keeps changing every 5s.@geoffr: We had the constant restarts on deployments both managed by and not by ArgoCD after we upgraded to 1.0.0.  So that seems like that's a red herring.  We had a VSO with a `refreshAfter: 120s` which did the same and that deployment is a standard kubectl applied deployment (i.e. not an ArgoCD Application)@benashz: Hi @rhettjay  , would you mind providing us with the complete VaultStaticSecret's complete `status` output. That should help is to determine next steps. Thanks!@achmadhisyam: Hi All,

I have the same problem, the VSO is automatically updated within the OpenShift. The deployment is triggered to restart unnecessary. The secrets in the Vault is not changed, the OpenShift also nothing changed in it. Below is the VaultStaticSecret

`apiVersion: secrets.hashicorp.com/v1beta1
kind: VaultStaticSecret 
metadata:
  namespace: xxx
  name: xxx
spec:
  vaultAuthRef: xxx
  mount: xxx
  type: kv-v2
  path: xxx
  refreshAfter: 5s
  rolloutRestartTargets:
    - kind: Deployment
      name: xxx
    - kind: Deployment
      name: xxx
  destination:
    create: true
    name: xxx`

Any idea how to downgrade or rollback the VSO to the previous version? Or any other way to mitigate the issue of restarting the deployment unnecessarily?@benashz: @achmadhisyam, sorry to hear that you are having issues with the latest VSO release. We are actively investigating this issue.

You should be able to install 0.10.0 explicitly.

In the meantime, you might want to adjust the VaultStaticSecret to omit the rolloutRestartTargets per: https://developer.hashicorp.com/vault/docs/deploy/kubernetes/vso/api-reference#vaultstaticsecretspec@benashz: @achmadhisyam - would you mind providing us with an example of the VaultStaticSecret resource that is exhibiting the issue?@vertisan: I have the same problem on my local K3s - after upgrade to `v1.0.0`, VSO triggering pods restart over and over without any other changes (also in secrets)... After downgrading to `v0.10.0`, everything is back to normal. 
There are a few examples of my `VaultStaticSecret`:

I'm using an official Helm for VSO, so I just reverted the Chart's version to `0.10.0`, and re-deployed it. Nothing more was required (in my case ofc). After this, everything stopped restarting.@benashz: We have identified the issue and are working on a fix. We should be doing a patch release shortly.

So, you are using helm rollback command isn't it?@vertisan: > > > Hi [@vertisan](https://github.com/vertisan) , could you please share the step to downgrade the VSO to previous version? Thanks

Nope, I'm using ArgoCD so he's doing all of these things for me :) I have just changed version as I mentioned, committed it into the repository, and manually refreshed the Application in Argo (to make a faster refresh and re-deploy).@rhettjay: @benashz it sounds like there's been significant progress. Thanks for the swift response. 
Here's the status output (with some admitted redactions, like last applied configuration) if it's at all helpful.

```@joshgubler:

@rhettjay I think this is on an application that you have paused. Hence the failed restart. I just don't want the team to waste time following that red herring.

Correct and fair point. I've edited the original post to include an example of a deployment that is not paused.@benashz: Fix is released in [v1.0.1](https://github.com/hashicorp/vault-secrets-operator/releases/tag/v1.0.1)

OLM packaging is in progress for OpenShift.@joshgubler: I've confirmed that v1.0.1 fixes the issue for us. Thank you for jumping on this so fast!
