Flux conflicts with pods autoscale

[wenbli]

When a controller is set to manual mode for production environment, and have the autoscale enabled for the deployment, fluxctl and horizontalpodautoscaler conflicts causing pods keep deleting/creating to meet the "replicas" decided by fluxctl and autoscale.

If you use HPA then you need to remove the spec.replicas field from your deployment yaml. When Flux will apply the deployment, due to how kubectl 3 way merge works, the replicas value when set by the HPA will not be overwritten if it's not present in git.
