Multiple fixes (#29)

* Multiple fixes - add goreleaser to the build / release process - add kubectl plugin for job graphs visualization - add installation scripts - update dependencies * Update the release & CRD content. * Next set of improvements. Code Quality - Label constants: Added LabelWorkflowName, LabelGroupName, LabelJobName, LabelJobID in controllers/definitions.go - Removed commented debug code: Cleaned up dead code from multiple files - Removed unused dependencyTree field: Cleaned connPackage struct - Fixed snake_case variables: Changed to camelCase (runGroup, groupDep, runJob, jobDep, k8sJob) Kubernetes Best Practices - Finalizers: Implemented handleDeletion() and deleteChildJobs() for proper cleanup - Status enum validation: Added +kubebuilder:validation:Enum=pending;running;succeeded;failed;aborted - ImagePullPolicy default: Created getImagePullPolicy() helper that defaults to IfNotPresent - Resource limits support: Added Resources *corev1.ResourceRequirements to ManagedJobParameters Observability - Prometheus metrics: Created controllers/metrics.go with counters (jobs created/succeeded/failed), histogram (reconciliation duration), and gauge (active jobs) - Structured logging: Added logger field to connPackage, used context-based logging throughout Configuration - Leader election ID: Made configurable via --leader-election-id flag - Development mode: Made configurable via --dev-mode flag and LOG_LEVEL env var Performance - Dependency lookup optimization: Changed from O(n*m) to O(1) using lookup maps (jobDepMap, groupDepMap) - Reconciliation backoff: Added RequeueAfter: 30*time.Second when workflow is running Documentation & Testing - Godoc documentation: Added comprehensive comments to API types and controller - Unit tests: Added helpers_test.go with tests for all helper functions - Integration tests: Added managedjob_controller_test.go with Ginkgo/Gomega tests * Add the helm chart release. * Add reasonable test coverage.
