Linkerd2: Option to not have linkerd-viz helm chart create namespace

[tustvold]

Feature Request

Add a installNamespace flag to the linkerd-viz helm chart to match the one present in the main linkerd2 helm chart.

What problem are you trying to solve?

It is beneficial to be able to create namespaces outside of Helm, in part to avoid chicken-and-egg situations with regards to where Helm stores its metadata, but also because namespaces may need to integrate with access control, etc... In my particular case I need to add custom labels as I'm using

How would users interact with this feature?

--set installNamespace=false

This flag is already added as part of this commit.

Does this mean this issue is already fixed?

Ah, you're right. It looks like it was fixed by https://github.com/linkerd/linkerd2/pull/5509. Sorry about that!
