fix(cli): Make upgrade check if cluster reachable

The 'helm upgrade' command was not checking if the cluster was reachable.
Also, 'helm upgrade --install' first checks if the release exists
already.  If that check fails there is no point in continuing the
upgrade.  This optimization avoids a second timeout of 30 seconds when
trying to do the upgrade.
