This sets the namespace key in metadata for all kubernetes manifests. The `.Release.Namespace` is a built-in variable in helm, that can be passed with` --namespace` on `install` or `template` step. If not set it defaults to `default`. *Why?* When using `helm install` with the `--namespace` argument the templates are applied into the chosen namespace. When using helm only as a template engine, in combination with GitOps tools like Flux, the namespace property must be set in the rendered manifests to be applied. For `--namespace` to have an effect when using `helm template`, it must be present like this in the templates. This change should not have any effect/change for `helm install` approach as far as I know.
