ResourceSet and kustomize.toolkit.fluxcd.io/ssa

Describe the bug

I am trying to move a kustomization to a ResourceSet. The created object uses the annotation kustomize.toolkit.fluxcd.io/ssa: merge as I am patching an object already existing in the cluster.

Could you please add support for the ssa annotations similar as you did with force at Similar to https://github.com/fluxcd/flux2/discussions/5442

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a ResourceSet that patches an existing Kubernetes object such as a namespace
2. See that the flux operator overrides any previous infrmation of the object

Expected behavior

Existing object data is preserved and only the additional data from the ResourceSet is added
