Subject: [PATCH] New Helm functionality to delete a coalesced YAML key when
 the value is nil.

- Note that this covers all YAML null syntax options:
  ref: http://yaml.org/type/null.html
- Note that we do a nil comparison because the encoding/yaml package parses
  YAML properly and any variation of null, Null, NULL, or ~ is converted to nil
  by the time we get here.
