Creates a new FAQ/Troubleshooting section for Helm 4 documentation with guidance on resolving "server-side apply failed" errors. Documents common causes (duplicate keys in manifests, field ownership conflicts) and provides resolution options (fixing chart templates, using --force-conflicts, or disabling SSA with --server-side=false).
