[FEATURE]: Don't force Helm dependency updates

[jamesmeneghello]

Feature Request

Background / Motivation

Bitnami's repositories are falling apart at the seams, and about 1 in every 5 helm calls to their registry fails. Unfortunately, this means that even caching the charts locally and using chartPath doesn't work, because they have a dependency on a common chart. Garden (helpfully) automatically checks this dependency for updates, but this then sometimes fails.

End result: about 1 in 5 garden deploys are failing.

What should the user be able to do?

It'd be great to make the dependency update checks optional?

How important is this feature for you/your team?

🥀 Crucial, Garden is unusable for us without it

Thanks for reporting this! We'll take a look soon. We think we can add a retry for this.
