feat: major Helm chart user-friendliness improvements

Browse Source 
Implements comprehensive enhancements to make the Helm chart more user-friendly
and easier to deploy across different scenarios.

🎯 **IMPLEMENTED IMPROVEMENTS:**

**1. Values Organization & Grouping**
- Reorganized values.yaml with logical sections:
  - Basic Configuration (name, image, githubRepo)
  - Access & Interface (ide, ssh, display, user)
  - Infrastructure & Resources (storage, resources, shm, clusterAccess)
  - Integrations (happy, mcp sidecars)
  - Smart Defaults & Auto-Detection
- Updated deployment templates to use new structure
- Maintains clean, navigable configuration

**2. Simplified Quick-Start Values**
- Added values-quickstart.yaml for 80% of users
- Just 2 required fields: name + githubRepo
- Includes usage instructions and common customizations
- Copy-paste ready deployment experience

**3. Better Documentation Structure**
- Added values.schema.json for IDE validation and autocomplete
- Created comprehensive USAGE.md with real-world examples:
  - Development, team, K8s admin, AI/ML, lightweight scenarios
  - Secret configuration examples
  - Resource sizing by use case
  - Common troubleshooting patterns

**4. Smart Defaults & Auto-Detection**
- Added template helpers for intelligent resource sizing
- Environment auto-detection based on naming patterns
- Smart MCP sidecar selection based on cluster access
- Resource profile auto-selection (auto/small/medium/large/xlarge)
- Enhanced _helpers.tpl with smart default functions

🎫 **CREATED GITHUB ISSUES** for future enhancements:
- #32: Helm chart preset profiles
- #33: Split large deployment.yaml template
- #34: Advanced auto-detection for Kubernetes environments
- #35: Specialized Helm chart variants (basic/team/k8s/ai)
- #36: Installation and configuration helper scripts
- #37: Comprehensive validation and health monitoring
- #38: User experience improvements with better error messages
- #39: Comprehensive examples and template library

📊 **IMPACT:**
- Reduced required configuration from ~20 values to 2 essential fields
- Added IDE support with schema validation
- Created guided examples for common scenarios
- Established foundation for advanced auto-detection
- Planned comprehensive tooling ecosystem

🚀 **USAGE:**
```bash
# Quick start (new users)
cp chart/values-quickstart.yaml my-values.yaml
# Edit name and githubRepo
helm install mydev ./chart -f my-values.yaml

# Full customization (power users)
# Edit chart/values.yaml with organized sections
helm install mydev ./chart
```
