introduce more configurable options for service type

[carpenike]

Hello!

I need to host small-step on it's own LoadBalancerIP rather than an ingress controller as the ingress controller uses cert-manager to get a public cert from LE rather than the PKI chain that Small Step provides.

This PR introduces additional service options for Small Step but defaults to the current configuration.

@maraino -- would love your review when you get time!

Any thoughts?

Hey, that is awesome MR. I also need LoadBalancer type instead NodePort. Right now I started to modify template locally but It would be great to have it in public chart.

To someone landing here and the peeps already on the issue. I worked around this issue by using the ytt tool from Carvel.

So when I set service to type LoadBalancer I overlay on the generated Kubernetes Service object and add a loadBalancerIP key/value to that object.

If people are interested in more ... let me know and I can provide a gist. But, of course, the greatest solution would be that the step-certificates Helm charts actually supports providing a loadBalancerIP. So why not get this PR proposal in 💯 - good stuff.

Thanks and have a great day.

@zolech see my suggestion until this is merged. My solution makes it possible for you to avoid customizing the chart locally.

Thanks but I've already resolved that by passing ssl through with treafik. Works great and there is no need using LoadBalancer type.

Alright. Totally fair! However, based on this issue > #77 < I get the impression that doing that is not the best of ideas.
Hmm.

It's not the best idea to use L7 ingress but traefik has CRD that uses L4 load balancing: ingressroutetcps.traefik.containo.us and together with SNI works well in this case.
