doc: Add basic upgrade documentation for Helm Charts

Without this patch the READMEs for the Helm Charts do not provide any
documentation on how to upgrade to a newer version. There is at least
one known issue when updating to a newer versions that is unavoidable as
of writing. There is a workaround for the issue which should be
documented in the upgrade section.

This is a problem because currently the only way to find this workaround
is to go through closed GitHub issues. These might not be around at the
time someone needs this information. Furthermore the issue should be
communicated to the operator before it occurs.

This patch adds basic documentation for updating the Helm repository,
and upgrading the installed release of the Helm Chart. How values can be
set is not part of the documentation. If an operator used custom values,
e.g. for the secret, they probably already know how to deal with setting
values. However, the docs still remind the reader to take values into
account.
Reusing the installed values (`--reuse-values`) has lead to problems in
past, which is why it is explicitly discouraged. An example for this
would be the value `logLevel` which was changed to `sidecarLogLevel`.
Reusing values lead to `.Values.sidecarLogLevel` being empty and the
`csi-provisioner` not being started due to invalid value `-v=""`.
Comparing new values with set values is encouraged.

The workaround for issue #3397 from GitHub is being addressed in the
section Know Issues Upgrading.

### Upgrade Chart
If you want to upgrade your Chart, use the following commands.
```bash
helm repo update ceph-csi
helm upgrade --namespace ceph-csi-cephfs ceph-csi-cephfs ceph-csi/ceph-csi-cephfs
```
For upgrading to a specific version, provide the flag `--version` and the
version.
**Do not forget to include your values**, if they differ from the default values.
We recommend not to use `--reuse-values` in case there are new defaults AND
compare your currently used values with the new default values.
#### Known Issues Upgrading
- When upgrading to version >=3.7.0, you might encounter an error that the
CephFS CSI Driver cannot be updated. Please refer to
[issue](https://github.com/ceph/ceph-csi/issues/3397) for more details.
This is due to the CSIDriver resource not being updatable. To work around this
you can delete the CSIDriver object by running:
```bash
kubectl delete csidriver cephfs.csi.ceph.com
```
Then rerun your `helm upgrade` command.
