Simplify Helm versioning to always use Chart.yaml version

- Removed automatic version generation from tags or timestamps
- Always use version directly from Chart.yaml (single source of truth)
- Tag triggers now only determine if it's a release (not version)
- Release is triggered when tag matches Chart.yaml version
- Manual dispatch version is now for validation only
- Removed version modification during packaging
- Simplified packaging process to use Chart's own version
- Removed --devel flag as all versions are now stable
- Better separation: version managed in Chart.yaml, release triggered by tags
