Revert "Improve helm dependency update performance"

The change in #11726 caused a regression where `helm dependency udpate`
stopped working. The format of the internal representation of the data
changed causing errors of "non-absolute URLs should be in form of
repo_name/path_to_chart". See #13324 for more details.

Since this change is in released Helm and it's a regression, reverting
the original change was the fastest and safest route to deliver a
fix as quickly as possible.

Closes #13324
