Add configuration for annotations on spawned singleuser pods
The spawner supports [configuring extra labels on spawned pods](https://github.com/jupyterhub/kubespawner/blob/06a2e09bc05e873a3e9e8b29d60beceb193fb2b7/kubespawner/spawner.py#L264-L280).

It should also support configuring extra annotations on spawned pods.
