GitOps Storage: add support for specifying a Git provider for storage backend #436

Description

TL;DR: We are proposing to add a new storage backend for GitHub/GitLab to store/mirror the charts.


GitOps is having a Git repository that always contains declarative descriptions of the infrastructure currently desired in the production environment and an automated process to make the production environment match the described state in the repository. 1

Let's assume we have a self-managed GitLab server. And we prefer not to use for the external storage in the cloud services.

Here is the idea for the GitLab:
0. GitLab Hostname: gitlab.internal.com, base group /helm-charts

  1. We want to store https://falcosecurity.github.io/charts chart in the repo called falcosecurity/charts
  2. Create a root group called /helm-charts, if not exist
  3. Create a subgroup called falcosecurity, if not exist
  4. Create a repo called charts, if not exist
  5. Force push the all files (or commits) to store

We can create custom gitlab.go and github.go providers for this if it makes sense!
