Add "Mutable" indicator for GKE config-reference
The Rancher UI prevents a user from editing a field for a provisioned GKE cluster that GKE does not support changing, but the Rancher API schema allows updates to some fields that will get ignored and cause confusion to API users. This change (for 2.5.8 only) tries to mitigate that confusion by pointing out which fields can be changed.

||||
**Mutable: no**
|
||||
|
||||
The IP address range for pods in the cluster. Must be a valid CIDR range, e.g. 10.42.0.0/16. If not specified, a random range is automatically chosen from 10.0.0.0/8 and will exclude ranges already allocated to VMs, other clusters, or routes. Automatically chosen ranges may conflict with reserved IP addresses, dynamic routes, or routes within VPCs peering with the cluster.

||||
|
||||
**Mutable: no**
