### What changes were proposed in this PR?
Drop the Helm chart tarball (`apache-texera-${VERSION}-helm.tgz`) from the
release-candidate flow. The remaining RC artifacts are the source tarball and
the docker-compose deployment bundle.
The `bin/k8s/` chart sources stay in the repo — users who want a Kubernetes
deployment can still package the chart themselves from source. The chart simply
isn't carried through the ASF release/vote/distribution process anymore.
Concrete changes in `.github/workflows/create-release-candidate.yml`:
- Removed the entire `Create Helm chart package` step (helm install, `helm
dependency build`, `helm package`, symlink resolution, Chart.yaml/values.yaml
patching).
- Dropped the `helm_tarball` output of `create-rc` and its variable.
- Removed helm from the sign/checksum loop, the `upload-artifact` paths, the
`Verify downloaded artifacts` loop, the `Stage artifacts to SVN` loop, the SVN
commit message, the summary table row, and the `gpg --verify` / `sha512sum -c`
snippets.
In `.github/release/vote-email-template.md`:
- Removed the \"Helm chart package\" bullet from the artifact list.
- Removed the \"Helm chart deploys successfully (if applicable)\" line from
the verification checklist.
Net diff: ~67 lines removed across two files; no behavior change to source
or docker-compose tarballs.
### Any related issues, documentation, discussions?
Closes #4848.
Rationale (from the issue): the Helm chart is hard for individual reviewers
to test and deploy during the 72-hour [VOTE] window — a Kubernetes cluster and
chart-dep fetch are needed, which is a heavier verification path than ASF
release reviewers should have to take on for an artifact. The docker-compose
bundle is a much more accessible deployment review target.
### How was this PR tested?
No automated test — this only takes effect during the manual `Create and
upload release candidate artifacts` workflow_dispatch. Verified by:
- \`grep -ni helm .github/workflows/create-release-candidate.yml
.github/release/vote-email-template.md\` returns no matches.
- \`python3 -c \"import yaml;
yaml.safe_load(open('.github/workflows/create-release-candidate.yml'))\"\`
parses cleanly.
The next RC dry-run will exercise the path end-to-end.
