HelmInstaller: Support Helm 3

See original GitHub issue

Helm 3 is now in beta. Specifying helmVersionToInstall: 3.0.0-beta.3 properly installs Helm 3 as expected, but since helm init (and Tiller) have been deprecated in v3, I get an error: Error: unknown flag: --client-only. My current workaround is to do continueOnError: true but it leaves every build result marked as Warning. It would be great to get proper Helm 3 support. Perhaps Helm could be verified inside helmtooinstaller.ts using helm version instead (though that may cause issues with Helm 2 if --client-only isn’t specified).

@spowser and @bkaid I just pushed PR #11735 to hopefully resolve this issue ASAP. However, while we wait, I wrote a blog post about a work around, if it helps at all.

@shashankbarsin and @Anumita can we get a review of the PR when you have free moment? Thanks!

@shashankbarsin Thank you for the update! Good catch on the v - I made an assumption the code had v baked in and the task just used the numbers. Thanks @Anumita for fixing this and getting this pushed into m160 ASAP. Will keep posted until the changes are live in all rings.
