Move Helm chart to charts/ and update refs

Rename Helm chart directory from deploy/helm/chart to charts and update all references accordingly. Adjusted devcontainer post-create script, Makefile, skaffold config, GitHub Actions release workflow (packaging, tagging), Dependabot directory, CODEOWNERS, and README examples. Removed values.production.yaml from the repository and added a README note indicating production values are managed externally. Small path fixes applied to chart values/local files and helm dependency commands to point at the new charts location.
