When chartify is involved due to the use of `forceNamespace`, `strategicMergePatches`, `jsonPatches`, and so on, We had been internally mutating the Release.Chart with the path to the local temporary directory that contains the modified version of the chart.
This resulted in us unintentionally making `helmfile deps` to remove entries for the chart being modified out of helmfile.lock file, which resulted in issues like #2110.
To be clear, although the original issue is reported to occur for `strategicMergePatches`, I believe that it occurered also for any remote charts using `jsonPatches` and `forceNamespace` too.
I also believe this has been the issue since our introduction of chartify (maybe a year or so ago??), and I guess why it took so much time to be found and reported is that not so many people with chartify in combination with `helmfile deps` 🤔
Lastly, this changes chart names surfaced in the various log output from Helmfile, from temporary chart paths to the chart name/path declared in the helmfile.yaml. I think this is generally a good change, no fear of being a breaking change. But if anyone has any concern about that, please feel free to comment/report/etc.

This adds support for `kube-version` and `api-versions` to be available to `chartify` so that it works even if your release requires `chartify` due to that you use features like `forceNamespace`, `jsonPatches`, `strategicMergePatches`, and so on.
This also enhances `ReleaseSpec` which corresponds to each item of `releases[]` in your `helmfile.yaml` to also accept `kubeVersion` and `apiVersions`, in addition to the top-level `kubeVersion` and `apiVersions` we have today.
The top-level ones works as the default values for release-specific ones. If you have been using the top-level ones, keep using it. It is backward-compatible. If you want to specify it per release, because, for example, your releases are deployed across clusters(in case you differentiate `kubeContext` fields), try the new fields added to the release spec.
Resolves#1864
This finishes the work started at #1619 by introducing the following changes:
- You can now set `HELMFILE_TEMPDIR` and `CHARTIFY_TEMPDIR` as the directory to persist temporary values files rendered by helmfile and temporary charts generated by chartify. Note that chartify is used internally when you use kustomize integration or raw K8s manifests as a chart.
- Helmfile uses the hash sum of the release config and the values file content in the file name of the temporary values file.
In combination with `HELMFILE_TEMPDIR` and `CHARTIFY_TEMPDIR`, this enables helmfile to use the stable file names for temporary values files, which contribute to stabilize log messages like `Comparing release=appset, chart=PATH/TO/TEMPORARY/CHART`, where the `PATH/TO/TEMPORARY/CHART` had been randomized due to formerly random helmfile tempdir and temporary values file names, and random chartify tempdir.
You can try this feature with a script like:
```
tempdir=$(mktemp -d -t helmfile)
HELMFILE_TEMPDIR=${tempdir} CHARTIFY_TEMPDIR=${tempdir} helmfile diff
rm -rf ${tempdir}
```
