At present, the Artifact file name (and thus URL) is composed out of just chart metadata. Due to the way Helm chart builds are not reproducable, this may cause issues on the consumer side when a chart is rebuild due to e.g. a controller restart, but advertised on the same URL. As this causes a mismatch in the checksum calculation.

Given a checksum mismatch error triggers a lot more red flags for an operator than a temporary "404 not found", it would be good idea to add some randomness to the advertised Artifact URL.

To my knowledge, only HelmCharts are affected by this, as other resources strip data (e.g. timestamps).

controllers: store HelmChart Artifact with suffix
87bc4ab 
This adds a Unix suffix to the HelmChart Artifact filename, to ensure
it is unique for sequential builds triggered due to e.g. a controller
restart.

The result of this is that consumers who _think_ they are fetching an
artifact with a certain checksum run into a 404 when attempting to
download a previously advertised but now unavailable file, instead of
running into a checksum validation error (due to non-repetitive Helm
builds).
