Helm install optional and default values

Make Helm applicaton installation optional by allowing
user not to provide Helm charts. Then only empty Kubernetes
cluster will be installed.

Provide some reasonable default values for Helm charts
configuration variables both in package script and ansible
installer itself. User provided Helm charts configuration
must be in sync with packaging and installer, provided
some clarifying comments for that.
