Description

As discussed in https://github.com/apache/camel-k/issues/4841 there seems to be a configuration problem with Kubernetes secrets (and probably config maps).

The CAMEL_K_MOUNT_PATH_SECRETS environment variable is set correctly as documented https://camel.apache.org/manual/using-propertyplaceholder.html#_using_kubernetes_property_placeholder_functions.

However, I get the message "Mount path must be configured" when I try to reference secret:some/key. It works if I additionally specify -Dcamel.k.mount-path.secrets=/etc/camel/conf.d/_secrets which is the same path as the one set already in the environment variable.
