feat(helm): add support for multiple values files

You can now specify the `-f` flag multiple times to include multiple
values files. The priority will be given to the last (right-most)
file specified.

Closes #1620

+contained a key called 'Test', the value set in override.yaml would take precedence:

 To check the generated manifests of a release without installing the chart,
 the '--debug' and '--dry-run' flags can be combined. This will still require a
 round-trip to the Tiller server.
