Option to not include the helm-docs version in README about helm-docs HOT 5 OPEN

If you install this tool with "Go" this field is absent. Means that it is inconsistent. Better off having a simple flag for this field because when you generate new helm-docs with the new version tool mostly you have is just a different footer.
It's only for a user convenience especially when you have helm-docs diff checks at the server side.

Because that's an anti-pattern. If you start going down the path of "we need a CLI flag / toggle for every single feature" you run into something very complicated, very quickly. It's much better from a practical, and maintainability perspective, if you cover most of the use cases that people want, and template the rest. If you want to see where the road you desire leads to, look no further than the git CLI. Most people avoid any sort of interaction with that if possible because it has too many options.

It's really useful to know which is the exact version on which a README has been generated? The most simple solution for me is just to get rid of the version e.g.
