rad cli not aware of radius when installed with helm

[superbeeny]

Steps to reproduce

1. With a clean cluster and no corresponding entry in ~/.kube/config install radius via the helm chart as described here
2. Enter rad group create dev returns an error
3. Enter rad workspace create kubernetes dev and ensure the command executes successfully.
4. Enter rad group create dev and rad env create dev -g dev, both should now execute successfully.
5. Update the workspace with rad create workspace kubernetes dev -g dev -e dev --force

Observed behavior

No response

Desired behavior

The rad cli is aware of the radius deployment and when creating the workspace should env and group be created if they do not exist?

It was an intentional choice for rad workspace to not mutate state on the server.

Part of the motivation was that we had a lot of confusion about whether rad workspace was a client-side concept or a server-side concept (it's a purely client-side concept, like a KubeConfig).

I think there's some value digging into the scenario as you encountered it:

What should be the experience when you install Radius from Helm? What's created for you by default and what's not?

/cc @zachcasper - any thoughts about the scenario?
