MRColor d8fbbcbd36 feat(helm): add support for nodePort specification in LoadBalancer services helm chart (#16032)
## Short description: 
This pull request introduces support for optionally specify `nodePort`
values when using `LoadBalancer` service type in the Coder Helm chart.
This enhancement addresses a limitation where `httpNodePort` and
`httpsNodePort` values were previously ignored for `LoadBalancer`
services. This PR should expand the service customization options
without disrupting existing configurations.

## Why this is Useful
In some enterprise environments, applications may be required to use
specific ports for compliance with organizational policies or cloud
infrastructure requirements. For instance:

- Reserved port blocks are allocated for specific applications for
security and clarity.
- Ensuring predictable port assignments helps in debugging and
management scenarios.

Since LoadBalancer in Kubernetes operates on top of nodePort, this
feature is useful for enabling enterprises to adhere to such policies if
they whish.

## What Was Changed
- Updated helm/coder/templates/service.yaml:
- Allowed nodePort specification for both NodePort and LoadBalancer
service types.
- Updated helm/coder/templates/values.yaml:
- Updated inline comments to reflect the changes for nodeport values use
cases.
  
### Regarding backward compatibility:
If nodePort is not specified, Kubernetes dynamically assigns a port,
maintaining the current behavior.
### Testing Performed
- Validated through Helm dry-run: nodePort values are rendered correctly
in the resulting Kubernetes YAML.
- Deployed the updated chart in an enterprise Kubernetes cluster.
- Tested coder environment with LoadBalancer service and specified
nodePort values for both HTTP and HTTPS.

## Additional Notes
- This PR expands the nodeport functionality introduced in PR #8993 to
the Loadbalancer service.
- If merged, an update to the documentation to include examples of
LoadBalancer with nodePort values may be useful.
- I've read the contributing guidelines and code of conduct. This is my
first PR for the Coder project, and I hope it meets the community
standards. Any advice, feedback, or help is greatly appreciated!
