Hi team,

I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will provide my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly understand the changes:

This pull request addresses issue #9681. The goal is to fix an issue where Skaffold wasn't passing legacy Helm deploy flags during the rendering process. Specifically, the global flag in Helm, which is intended to pass additional flags to every command, was not being correctly handled.

Changes:

• The primary change is in pkg/skaffold/runner/renderer.go. The code was modified to include the p.Deploy.LegacyHelmDeploy.Flags in the latest.RenderConfig for Helm. This ensures that legacy Helm deploy flags are now passed correctly during rendering. The relevant lines are 67-73, where the Flags field was added to the latest.Helm struct within the RenderConfig.

In short: This PR ensures that Skaffold correctly handles legacy Helm deploy flags, fixing a discrepancy in how the global flag was being applied during the rendering stage.

A little haiku to lighten the mood:

Flags now take flight,
Rendering's path made clear and bright,
Skaffold's code takes flight.

This pull request addresses issue #9681 by passing Helm legacy deploy flags to the render configuration. This ensures that global flags specified in the skaffold.yaml are also applied during the rendering process. The change looks correct and straightforward. However, it would be beneficial to add a unit test to verify the change and update the documentation to reflect this new behavior.

• Go Code Review Comments: While there wasn't a specific style guide provided, I referenced general Go best practices and the Effective Go document when suggesting improvements.

I recommend addressing the documentation and testing suggestions before merging this PR.
