ci: run helm from a checksum-pinned binary, not a container

The chart gate failed with 'stat deploy/chart/Chart.yaml: no such file or
directory' while the file plainly existed in the checkout. `docker run -v
"$PWD:/repo"` is interpreted by the dind sidecar's daemon rather than by the
job container, so the bind source has to exist on the daemon's side of that
boundary. Downloading the binary removes the boundary entirely.

Pinned by sha256 for the same reason every image here is pinned by digest.
