Fix Helm chart packaging

[ThoSap]

It seems like quarkus.helm.create-tar-file=true does not package the additional files that are generated under operator/build/helm/kubernetes/postgresql-operator.

See the marked files here, which are missing in the automatically packaged *.tgz file:

See the files from the last release:
https://github.com/aboutbits/postgresql-operator/releases/download/v0.2.1/postgresql-operator-0.2.1.tgz

This archive contains a consolidated clusterrolebinding.yaml, whereas the folder operator/build/helm/kubernetes/postgresql-operator with quarkus.helm.create-tar-file=false contains a different set of role bindings, as shown in the previous screenshot.

Also the content is not the same:
quarkus.helm.create-tar-file=true

As the namespace is missing in the role bindings from the automatically created archive, I get this error when I install the Helm chart:

> helm install --namespace postgresql-cluster-configuration-operator postgresql-operator https://github.com/aboutbits/postgresql-operator/releases/download/v0.2.1/postgresql-operator-0.2.1.tgz

The content of, for example file operator/build/helm/kubernetes/postgresql-operator/databasereconciler-crd-role-binding.yaml

Due to this, I'm disabling quarkus.helm.create-tar-file=false and do the *.tgz packaging myself.

Pull request overview

This PR addresses an issue where the Quarkus Helm chart packaging feature (quarkus.helm.create-tar-file=true) was not including all necessary files in the generated .tgz archive. The solution disables automatic packaging and implements manual Helm chart packaging in the release workflow.

Changes:

• Disabled automatic Helm chart packaging in Quarkus configuration
• Added manual Helm chart packaging step using tar command in the release workflow
• Updated release upload command to reference the manually packaged chart with explicit versioning
