feat(k8s): add a horizontal pod autoscaler

this scales up when the average CPU utilization is at 95% of the
requested CPU.

We should remove the replicas key from the deployment, otherwise any time
we deploy it will overwrite the HPA (source:
https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/run-application/horizontal-pod-autoscale/#migrating-deployments-and-statefulsets-to-horizontal-autoscaling)

Behaviour:

- every 15 seconds - The HPA controller checks the value of the metric used every 15 seconds per pod.
- every 3 minutes - The HPA scales up pods if the metric threshold has been continually exceeded for 3 mins.
- every 5 minutes - The HPA scales down pods if the metric threshold has not been exceeded for 5 mins.
