This PR removes the bundled PostgreSQL subchart from the Pact Broker Helm chart, making this a major version bump to v4.0.0. Users must now provide their own PostgreSQL instance.
Background
Due to Bitnami's decision to discontinue free open-source Helm charts and container images, we've removed the PostgreSQL subchart dependency. After evaluation, we found no suitable drop-in replacements that match Bitnami's quality and maintenance standards.
