helm: create a Helm chart for apm-server binary

[axw]

Motivation/summary

WIP, experimental Helm chart for deploying APM Server standalone in Kubernetes, either as a Deployment+Service, or as a DaemonSet.

Each pod gets a volume for its data directory, defaulting to emptyDir but configurable through Helm values. The Helm chart generates a self-signed TLS certificate and a random secret token. The chart's values currently enable tail-based sampling by default for testing/demonstration purposes; this would be switched to disabled later.
