Pull request overview

This PR updates the ToolHive operator installation documentation to reflect a significant architectural change: CRDs are now included directly in the operator Helm chart rather than being installed via a separate toolhive-operator-crds chart. The documentation has been restructured to present two installation methods (Helm and kubectl) using a tabbed interface, with Helm remaining the recommended approach.

Key Changes

• Simplified Helm installation to a single command that installs both operator and CRDs
• Added kubectl installation method as an alternative using static manifests
• Updated upgrade and uninstall procedures to reflect the new single-chart architecture
• Added documentation for CRD configuration options (install.server, install.registry, install.virtualMcp, keep)

Inconsistent placeholder formatting. The placeholder VERSION should use angle brackets to match the convention used elsewhere in the document (line 53 uses <VERSION>). Change VERSION to <VERSION> in both URLs for consistency.
