Description

What would you like Renovate to be able to do? It is great that renovate supports helm dependency management now. But, it would be great if renovate can optionally bump the chart version in chart.yaml in the PR as the new chart needs to be published as a new vesion.

Describe the solution you'd like Renovate should (optionally ) bump the chart version in Chart.yaml when raising a PR to bump requirements.

Describe alternatives you've considered A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered. Currently one way is to manually edit it so that we can publish a new version of chart.

Research direction
Investigate the Helm manager code in Renovate (likely in lib/manager/helm/). Review the logic for updating Chart.yaml. Check if there is an existing configuration option for bumping versions. Examine the 47 comments in the issue for prior suggestions and rejected solutions. Look at similar features in other managers (e.g., npm) for patterns to follow.
