Proposal

Provide the ability to install GitLab-managed-apps via API call. For Cert Manager specifically provide:

1. The ability to install Cert Manager (before installation, must check if Helm is installed. If not, error)
2. The ability to pass an email address as part of installation
3. The ability to check if Cert Manager is already installed
4. If Cert Manager is already installed, the ability to query what email address is associated with it
5. The ability to uninstall Cert Manager
