lotus bundle chart

[coryschwartz]

This is a helm chart to help you bundle your application with lotus along-side it.

Think of this as a decorator or a wrapper for lotus apps.

Key details:

• lotus can run stand-alone or lite mode
• Wallets are persisted to secrets, but they do not need to exist in advance
• Does not depend on any existing infra -- would work in other kubernetes clusters, etc outside of PL, etc.
• Applications that want to make deals have easy storage-volume to share the data.
• There is relatively little configuration options for lotus compared to the lotus-fullnode chart. Hopefully that makes this easier to use

In service of making things consumable outside of PL, This uses the docker image from https://github.com/filecoin-project/lotus/pull/6544 . Any change made there, could necessitate a change here.

The developer experience is intended to be similar regardless of whether using docker-compose with that provided docker-compose file, docker-swarm or this helm chart, providing an easy path to develop locally and uplift.

This is the helm-chart version of the bundle idea in https://docs.google.com/document/d/11OhCYqcmT5AI8zK__5EfWzVKQOHL75YaWyZR6tgpy8Y/edit?usp=sharing

This works as well with the deployment model where applications are given lite nodes that connect to a HA lotus service backend.
