Refactor proxy injection to use Helm charts (#3200)
* Refactor proxy injection to use Helm charts

Fixes #3128

A new chart `/charts/patch` was created, that generates the JSON patch
payload that is to be returned to the k8s API when doing the injection
through the proxy injector, and it's also leveraged by the `linkerd
inject --manual` CLI.

The VFS was used by `linkerd install` to access the old chart under
`/chart`. Now the proxy injection also uses the Helm charts to generate
the JSON patch (see above) so we've moved the VFS from `cli/static` to a
new common place under `/pkg/charts/static`, and the new root for the VFS is
now `/charts`.

`linkerd install` hasn't yet migrated to use the new charts (that'll
happen in #3127), so the only change in that regard was the creation of
`/charts/chart` which is a symlink pointing to `/chart` that
`install.go` now uses, so that the VFS contains both the old and new
charts, as a temporary measure.

You can see that `/bin/Dockerfile-bin`, `/controller/Dockerfile` and
`/bin/build-cli-bin` do now `go generate` pointing to the new location
(and the `go generate` annotation was moved from `/cli/main.go` to
`pkg/charts/static/templates.go`).

The symlink trick doesn't work when building the binaries through
Docker, so `/bin/Dockerfile-bin` replaces the symlink with an actual
copy of `/chart`.

Also note that in `/controller/Dockerfile` we now need to include the
`prod` tag in `go install` like we do in `/bin/Dockerfile-bin` so that
the proxy injector does use the VFS instead of the local file system.

- The common logic to parse a chart has been moved from `install.go` to
`/pkg/charts/util.go`.
- The special ENV var in the proxy for "outbound router capacity" that
only applies to the Prometheus pod is now handled directly in the proxy
partial and all the associated go code could be removed.
- The `patch.go` lib for generating the JSON patch in go along
with its tests `patch_test.go` are no longer needed.
- Lots of functions in `/pkg/inject/inject.go` got removed/simplified
with their logic being moved into the charts themselves. As a
consequence lots of things in `inject_test.go` became irrelevant.
- Moved `template-values.go` from `/pkg/inject` to `pkg/charts` as that
contains the go structs representation of the chart variables that
will be leveraged in #3127.

Don't forget to run `/bin/helm.sh` whenever you make changes to charts
;-)
