fix: pass registry client to downloader.Manager in upgrade

`helm upgrade --dependency-update` built its downloader.Manager without a
RegistryClient, unlike the identical literals in install, dependency update,
and dependency build. Resolving an OCI chart dependency whose version is a
range then dereferenced a nil *registry.Client in registry.(*Client).Tags,
panicking the process. Pass the registry client already constructed for the
command, matching install.

Add a regression test that runs `upgrade --dependency-update` against a chart
with an unresolved OCI dependency and asserts the command returns an error
instead of panicking.
