Issue:
Helm Operator for A/B deployment 
## Feature Request

#### Describe the problem you need a feature to resolve.

I’m using the Helm Operator and I want to use it for an A/B deployment (or blue green/deployment) in the same namespace (it must be in the same namespace).

Obviously I can’t deploy two Helm Operators with the same watches.yaml but different Helm chart versions (they will step on each other).

I also don’t want to bump the CRD version for each new Helm chart release.

#### Describe the solution you'd like.

Each Helm Operator could watch the CR with a specific label defined in their watches.yaml e.g: release: A, release B.

Sorry, I think this feature was requested before but I can’t find the answer.

Thanks

Pull request description:
Closes #4949: Label-based filtering for Helm via predicates
**Description of the change:**
Added a predicate to filter events based on labels.

**Motivation for the change:**
Allow Helm operators to only watch CRs with specific labels defined in `watches.yaml`, as mentioned in #4949.
