Enable Vault to review kube tokens when using external Vault (#392)

We want Vault to perform token reviews with Kubernetes even if we are
using an external Vault.

We need to create the ServiceAccount, Secret and ClusterRoleBinding with
the system:auth-delegator role to enable delegated authentication and
authorization checks [1].

These SA and RBAC objects are created when we deploy the Vault server.
In order to enable the creation of these objects when using an external
Vault, we remove the condition on external mode.

User might want to provide a sensible name (in global.serviceAccount.name) to the service
account such as: vault-auth.
