Type: Clean (correct implementation)

Original PR Title: feat: allow specifying deployment in helm chart without autoscaling
Original PR Description: ## Description

Allows specifying that the deployment of Appsmith should be done via the Deployment controller without enabling autoscaling. This is useful in situations where you want to be able to set a number of replicas without using HPAs or if you want the flexibility to set replica count to 0 to temporarily pause the instance.
