Add Pod Anti-Affinity

Applications may involve multiple replicas of the same Pod for availability as well as scale purposes, yet Kubernetes does not by default provide a solution for availability. This policy sets a Pod anti-affinity configuration on Deployments which contain an `app` label if it is not already present.
