Add command line gate for changing a release's chart

[xrl]

We author many charts and make many releases. Sometimes we screw up and overwrite an existing release by running a helm install with the name of an existing release that's on a different chart.

It would be nice to have a flow like:

$ helm ls
my-release                   the-app      525             2022-09-09 15:23:22.440161232 +0000 UTC deployed        my-chart-0.1.242
$ helm install --upgrade my-release my-other-chart ...
ERROR release is already installed with chart `my-chart`. In order to replace with `my-other-chart` use `--allow-chart-change`

This would require storing that information in the release object. Please review the HIP related to this proposal and add any feedback you might have. Once that feature is implemented, this wouldn't be that difficult to implement.
