Change helm_release max_history to a better default (10 or 5) instead of 0 (unbounded)

[stevo-f3]

Description

Please consider changing default value of helm_release max_history to 10 (Helm CLI default) or even 5 (Flux HelmRelease default). Leaving it to default to unbounded is a surprise and a risk (can slow down and bring down clusters and helm release operations).

Potential Terraform Configuration

resource "helm_release" "example" {
  name  = "redis"
  chart = "https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami/redis-10.7.16.tgz"
}

No new feature, just suggesting improvement for the default value of existing optional variable, not to require overriding it all the time.
