Draft: Add HelmTemplateError exceptions for more concise errors

Gerard Hickey requested to merge helm_exception into master

While working on recent changes to some of the checkConfig code I was at times not getting adequate error messages from the RSpec output. This required me to continually run helm template manually to get the actual errors from Helm.

Now errors are a little more concise and in some cases have more relevant error messages. The following is a sample of the the error messages:

  1) Database configuration No decomposition With default configuration `database.yml` Provides only `main` stanza and uses in-chart postgresql service
     Failure/Error: raise HelmTemplateError, @stderr

     HelmTemplateError:
       Error: template: gitlab/templates/NOTES.txt:121:3: executing "gitlab/templates/NOTES.txt" at <include "gitlab.checkConfig" .>: error calling include: template: gitlab/templates/_checkConfig.tpl:64:34: executing "gitlab.checkConfig" at <include "gitlab.checkConfig.postgresql.noPasswordFile" .>: error calling include: template: gitlab/templates/_checkConfig_postgresql.tpl:28:59: executing "gitlab.checkConfig.postgresql.noPasswordFile" at <$.Values.global.psql.main>: wrong type for value; expected map[string]interface {}; got interface {}

       Use --debug flag to render out invalid YAML
