Migration to Artifact Hub

[mattfarina]

A proposal has been put forth to migrate the Helm Hub to the Artifact Hub (a sandbox CNCF project). It is currently before a lazy consensus vote of both the chart and org maintainers.

• Automate copying current repos to the Artifact Hub. There will be a process for people to claim them.
• Clearly document how Helm Hub repo owners can transfer / list their repos in the Artifact Hub
• Artifact Hub owners will add an endpoint so that it can be used with Helm CLI search
• Helm Hub domain redirect to Artifact Hub (search MUST be completed first)
• Update Helm Docs to guide people to Artifact Hub
• Keep Helm Hub running in case a rollback is needed for some time then spin down
• Helm blog post announcement
• Update repo Readme and description with deprecation notice Repo deprecation notice #484
• then close this issue, and archive the repo in GitHub

The reason for the Artifact Hub move is...

• It provides more automation to handle currently manual situations (it's less work for me)
• The Hub is built on Monocular which needs some love. Artifact Hub is in better shape
• Artifact Hub provides the means for self management of artifacts
• People can find more than Helm charts. This is part of being a good CNCF citizen

Note, when the vote is closed on the Helm site we'll note it here. Progress updates will also be documented here.

This is ready to go. I've written a small script that registers the repos available in Helm Hub that are not present in Artifact Hub. I can launch it on production when you are ready.

So https://hub.helm.sh/ to https://artifacthub.io/

I am SOOOO excited about this one! Artifact Hub will be such a helpful thing for the community, and I am excited that Helm will be moving that direction.

This is ready too: artifacthub/hub#598

A vote was helm regarding this. Both of the charts maintainers (who oversee this repo) and the org maintainers (who need to weigh in on archiving any repo). This has passed.
