Helm chart does not allow --load-balancer-class flag to be set

[ahublersos]

Is your feature request related to a problem? #2489 added the --load-balancer-class command line flag to the controller, but as of chart version 1.7.1 there's no ability to configure that flag when deploying via the helm chart.

Describe the solution you'd like Be able to configure the --load-balancer-class flag by passing setting .Values.loadBalancerClass, similar to how the --ingress-class flag is configured with .Values.ingressClass.

Describe alternatives you've considered An option to pass custom arguments to the helm chart would be an alternative.
