fix panic when HelmRepository's artifact size is nil

This fixes the immediate issue of the nil pointer dereference but we
still haven't isolated the actual cause of the size being nil to begin
with. This is ongoing work and as soon as we have boiled that down to
the simplest case we will provide a regression test for that case.

closes #680
