I found out that Argo CD passes the name of the application as a value to set the Helm chart. This means that all the templating that used `{ $.Release.Name }` would resolve to the name given to Argo CD application.
In a multicluster deployment, using a single Argo CD, the names of the applications must be different. We solved that by appending the cluster name to the default application name when deploying on different clusters than `in-cluster`. However, this resulted in multiple problems for deployments that depended on the name of the application being static, so this solves that.
This is a breaking change because sometimes this requires an application to be deleted and recreated.
Since we are hardcoding the namespace variable on all modules, the variable to set the ArgoCD namespace will no longer be needed as well.
