[feature request] add `postgres-instance` provisioner based on postgres provisioner

[astromechza]

In some cases, the workload expects to receive an admin user credentials for a database host and the app will create its own database within the instance. We usually call this an -instance resource, and it has the same outputs except that it provides the root user and password and without the database/name output.

This should be based on the existing type=postgres default provisioner.

Good example with Backstage indeed, thanks for capturing this!

@astromechza, as a side note here, in the score-k8s's default provisioner, the implementation is different. I'm wondering in which direction we should go though:

1. Like current score-k8s (i.e. allowing the postgres to create databases)?
2. Or like recommended in this current issue by adding a new postgres-instance but them have this consistent in score-k8s for consistency?

Also, quid of mysql, mssql, etc. where we should go with this approach too for consistency?

[astromechza]

@mathieu-benoit For consistency I think we should make the score-k8s one more advanced and run as a non super user. And then the postgres-instance one can produce a super user and no explicit database field.

Bonjour @mathieu-benoit @astromechza Can I contribute to this issue ?

[astromechza]

@rabelmervin sure. See the existing postgres provisioner here:

score-compose/internal/command/default.provisioners.yaml

Line 103 in 140cab0

- uri: template://default-provisioners/postgres

. I suggest you copy that one, remove any database specific stuff from it and store its state in the local resource state rather than shared state.

I know in my initial issue description I mentioned that it should share state with the Postgres database provisioner, however, I think that might be too complex to be worth it right now — and quite hard to get right with just the existing template language.

Done in there #284, was also added in score-spec/score-k8s#179. And these unblocked the implementation of https://medium.com/@mabenoit/deploy-backstage-with-score-45bb2d7c2d90.
