internal/applier/helm.go:getReleaseState() contained two if blocks that handled driver.ErrReleaseNotFound with the first one returning, which meant the second block would never run.

Additionally, the first handler always returned a nil desiredState causing the only currently used Preflight validator (crdupgradesafety) and potentially others in the future to exit immediately because of not having anything to validate.

This fix leaves only the second handler block in, which actually triggers a dry-run installation and is able to return a proper desiredState that any Preflight validation can work with. It also has the added benefit of potentially spotting any issues and exiting earlier in case the dry-run failed.

Note: this bug ticket was retroactively added to Jira.
