cpu and memory Requests are not configurable for any services #106

Description

The Community and Enterprise helm charts do not provide a way to configure CPU or Memory Requests. Limits are configurable, but without configurable Requests, the kubernetes scheduler can force these pods into a relatively small space leftover on any given node, leading to undesirable throttling.

A much more flexible option might be to take the fairly standard approach of letting a user directly pass in the entire resources block for a workload.

Example:

Workload: https://github.com/aws/eks-charts/blob/master/stable/aws-load-balancer-controller/templates/deployment.yaml#L229-L230

This same pattern can be seen in the starter chart produced by helm create ...
