helmfile support

kod supports the packaging and installation of multiple helm charts via the helmfile tool. With helmfile you can define the order and default configuration of Helm charts you wish to install.

The Helm charts within a helmfile can be installed in different Kubernetes namespaces, and can even be installed with different settings multiple times. This is particularly useful to configure complex software installation such as Istio Ingress and Egress gateway deployments, which deploy the same chart with subtly different configuration.
