Add support for --skip-crds flag in install, upgrade, and template commands

[afalhambra-hivemq]

Summary

This feature request adds support for Helm's --skip-crds flag to the Java client, allowing users to skip Custom Resource Definition (CRD) installation during chart operations.

Motivation

The native Helm CLI supports the --skip-crds flag for install, upgrade, and template commands. This flag is useful when:

• CRDs are managed separately from chart releases
• Installing charts in environments where CRDs are already present
• Performing dry-run operations without CRD validation

Currently, the Helm Java client does not expose this functionality.

Proposed Changes

Add skipCrds() method to:

• InstallCommand
• UpgradeCommand
• TemplateCommand

Usage Example

// Install without CRDs
Helm.install("my-chart")
  .withName("my-release")
  .skipCrds()
  .call();

// Upgrade without CRDs
Helm.upgrade("my-chart")
  .withName("my-release")
  .skipCrds()
  .call();

// Template without CRDs
String manifests = Helm.template("my-chart")
  .skipCrds()
  .call();

Implementation

Implementation requires changes across all layers:

• Go native layer (InstallOptions, UpgradeOptions, TemplateOptions)
• C bindings (FFI layer)
• JNA bridge layer
• Java API layer
