introduce HIP 1: "Writing a HIP"

[bacongobbler]

As the Helm project receives more and more proposals, we should try to set a reasonable standard which proposal authors should adhere to ensure that proposals to the Helm project are well-written, thought out, and explained in a clear, concise manner.

This proposal format is inspired heavily by the Python Enhancement Proposal (PEP) process, with some minor modifications called out in proposal 1 (Writing a Proposal). I did not provide this process a fun name (KEPs, PEPs, DEPs), but suggestions are welcome, as it would make it simpler to reference these proposals in conversation!

HEP, like a hepcat (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hipster_(1940s_subculture))? HIP, Helm Improvement Proposal?

As discussed in today's call, I'll bring this to the helm-cartographers mailing list so other project maintainers can weigh in and see if this process would be helpful for them as well.

side note: I like HIP simply for the fact that it relates to a familiar english word, whereas HEP is common slang for a well-known subset of viruses (hepatitis C is commonly shortened down to "HEP C").

Great work on this. Just some general feedback and edits

[bacongobbler]

Okay, I think I've addressed all outstanding comments. I also included HIP 2 which provides a sample HIP template for others to use when writing their own HIPs. Ready for another round of reviews!

LGTM, thanks @bacongobbler

I went through this and I like it very much. I left minor comments.
