Auto-install helm in wait_for_charts_availability.sh if not present
What does this MR do?
Fixes the release_package CI job failure where helm command is not found.
The release_package job uses the distribution_ci_tools Docker image which does not include helm. The wait_for_charts_availability.sh script requires helm to check chart availability on charts.gitlab.io.
This MR reverts the runtime helm install approach. Instead, helm is being added directly to the distribution_ci_tools image in:
Once that MR is merged and a new image version is published, this job will work without any script changes.
