Annotation to override object name for diff purposes

This is useful for immutable secrets which are typically named as
secret-base-name-<.data hash>. Previously old and new secrets were
considere completely independent ConfigMap/Secret. With this annotation
user can add "helm.sh/base-name: secret-base-name" annotation and
compare old and new objects similar to git rename.
