[Enhancement]: non-helm cndi_config[applications]

[johnstonmatt]

Version

cndi v2.16.0
kubeseal v0.26.0
terraform v1.5.5

Please provide a summary of the enhancement you are proposing:

Generally CNDI Applications should always be helm-chart based. Helm is what the CNDI workflow has been engineered for. However some applications do not have helm charts available and we can still provide Templates by using the directory key in CNDI Applications.

Please provide the motivation or use case for this enhancement:

vitess.io is a mature and well-respected app that abandoned Helm. and we still want to provide a CNDI Template in cases like that.

How can we best workaround this issue so far?

cndi_config[cluster_manifests] could be used to specify an Application CRD manually, but this is a bit verbose and clunky.

How would you approach solving this problem within CNDI?
