[Request] User configuration options to plug in their own psql database instance

[andrewazores]

Describe the feature

#959 (comment)

Provide a CR property allowing the user to override the JDBC URL and any other configurations that may be required in order for the user to connect Cryostat to their choice of database instance.

Only the JDBC URL and other highest-priority config items need to be exposed via the CR. When these parameters are set, the Operator should configure Cryostat accordingly and skip deploying a cryostat-db instance. Other configuration options can be passed via #370 .

Anything other information?

Awesome! Looking forward to testing this when it becomes available!

Helm side: cryostatio/cryostat-helm#253

@steve-todorov this was actually quite simple to get going for at least a basic smoketest. You can check out that PR and try to install it on your staging environment - take a look at cryostatio/cryostat-helm#253 as well, or maybe even try to merge those two PRs together on your end if you don't want to wait for us to get this all merged upstream :-)
