Use .Release.Namespace by default to handle namespaces (#80)
It remains possible to override the current release namespace by setting
the `namespace` value though this may lead to having the helm metadata
and the pulsar components in different namespaces

Fixes #66

### Motivation

Trying to deploy the chart in a namespace using the usual helm pattern fails for example
```
kubectl create ns pulsartest
helm upgrade --install pulsar -n pulsartest apache/pulsar
Error: namespaces "pulsar" not found
```
fixing that while keeping the helm metadata and the deployed objects in the same namespace requires declaring the namespace twice 
```
kubectl create ns pulsartest
helm upgrade --install pulsar -n pulsartest apache/pulsar --set namespace=pulsartest
Error: namespaces "pulsar" not found
```
This is needlessly confusing for newcomers who follow the helm documentation and is contrary to helm best practices.

### Modifications

I changed the chart to use the context namespace `.Release.Namespace` by default while preserving the ability to override that by explicitly providing a namespace on the commande line, with the this modification both  examples behave as expected

Decouple credentials from key secrets generation (#7)
Fixes #6 

### Motivation

As suggested here: https://pulsar.apache.org/docs/en/helm-deploy/#prepare-the-helm-release. The ```prepare_helm_release.sh``` script provided with this Helm chart can create a secret credentials resource and
> The username and password are used for logging into Grafana dashboard and Pulsar Manager.

However, I haven't been able to make use of such a feature for a number of reasons:

1. This secret doesn't seem to affect the ```pulsar-manager-deployment.yaml``` definition. Instead, the ```./templates/pulsar-manager-admin-secret.yaml``` seems to be the one providing the credentials for the pulsar manager (UI) (with the added possibility to overwrite via values.yaml at ```pulsar_manager.admin.user/password```).

2. Using the Pulsar chart as a dependency for an umbrella chart (this is currently my use case), will bring extra hassle that will make it very hard to have all resources follow the same naming structure, thus causing some resources to never be deployed successfully e.g.: ```./templates/grafana-deployment.yaml``` will complain that it couldn't find the secret created by the bash script. Attempting to fix this issue via the ```-k``` flag passed to the script will cause the JWT secret tokens to have a name that's unexpected by the broker, etc.

### Modifications

Decouple grafana credentials from pulsar manager via a new secret resource named ```./charts/pulsar/templates/grafana-admin-secret.yaml```.

Add credentials overriding via values.yaml in the same way as pulsar_manager (grafana.admin.user/password) & delete secret resource manipulation from bash scripts (cleaup_helm_release.sh & prepare_helm_release.sh)
