Add per-workload replicas values and a chart-global scaleDown flag

Every Deployment/StatefulSet now takes its replica count from a replicas
value (default 1, explicit 0 allowed) via a new per-chart <chart>.replicas
helper; the helper uses a kindIs "invalid" nil check so an explicit 0 is
not swallowed by Helm's default function. A chart-global scaleDown flag
(default false) takes precedence: it renders every workload with
replicas: 0 and suspends the paperless-ngx consume CronJob, stopping the
app without uninstalling it (PVCs, Secrets, Services and Ingress remain).

Defaults leave the rendered manifests byte-identical to main, so all
published charts get a minor version bump; the template-chart carries the
reference helper implementation and stays unversioned.

Fixes #25

+  "replicas"   the workload's replicas value (may be nil)
+
+Rules (issue #25):
+  - scaleDown: true takes precedence and always yields 0.
+  - otherwise an explicitly set replicas value is used as given, including an
+    explicit 0 — Helm's "default" would swallow 0, hence the explicit
+    kindIs "invalid" nil check.
+  - a missing replicas value defaults to 1.
+
+Usage (the values path to the workload's replicas varies per chart):
+  replicas: {{ include "homeassistant.replicas" (dict "scaleDown" .Values.scaleDown "replicas" .Values.<app>.replicas) }}
+
+NOTE: like the resources helper above, this is duplicated into every chart's
+templates/_helpers.tpl with the chart's name as define prefix. This file in
