Adds a command-line flag '--disable-helm-controller' that will disable

the server's built-in helm controller.

Problem:
Testing installation and uninstallation of the Helm Controller on k3s is
not possible if the Helm Controller is baked into the k3s server.

Solution:
The Helm Controller can optionally be disabled, which will allow users
to manage its installation manually.
