Previously ignoring the entire /spec/syncPolicy prevented the ApplicationSet
controller from propagating syncOption changes (like ServerSideDiff=true) to
the live Application. Now only /automated/enabled is ignored, preserving
manual auto-sync control while allowing syncOptions to reconcile normally.

ArgoCD's client-side structured merge diff fails on VirtualMCPServer
resources that use spec.incomingAuth.oidc because the CRD schema does
not declare that subfield. ServerSideDiff=true switches diff computation
to a server-side dry-run which handles preserved-unknown-fields correctly.
