Feature/multi confulence support

[Kaushalendra-Singh-007]

Hey, I just made a Pull Request!

This PR adds the ability to index and search documentation from multiple Confluence instances in Backstage.

The backend collator factory and module are updated to dynamically register a collator for each configured Confluence instance. Documentation is updated with configuration examples and UI integration instructions.

How to use

->Add each Confluence instance under the confluence key in app-config.yaml (e.g., default, secondary). ->Register a collator for each instance under search.collators, using the instanceKey property. ->Update your search UI to include all Confluence types so users can search across all sources.

See the updated README for details and examples.

Hi @Kaushalendra-Singh-007, is there a reason you created a new PR? It's generally the proper practice to update your existing PR based on the review feedback. Creating new PRs creates a confusing process for everyone.

If you address the conflicts that should help get the CI running again 👍

[Kaushalendra-Singh-007]

Hi @awanlin , Thank you for your feedback! I apologize for any confusion caused by creating a new PR. I ran into some issues with resolving conflicts and thought starting fresh would be easier, but I understand now that updating the existing PR is preferred. I’ll make sure to address conflicts and keep updates within the same PR.

Thanks for your guidance!

👋 I'm very much interested in this feature! It looks like this PR is missing some new functionality (caching) that was added in this PR. @Kaushalendra-Singh-007 would you be able to add that back in?

[Kaushalendra-Singh-007]

Hi @awanlin, can you look into this. All checks are passed. Let me know if anything else do we need to look.

Hi @Kaushalendra-Singh-007, I'm back from various travels and vacation, and doing some follow up, will you be able to address my last set of review comments?

Thank you for this great work @HK-9. I suggest to restore the documentation of the old configuration schema with deprecation notices. It also prevent the leak of confidential data.

Thanks @fjudith. I’ve applied these changes locally and pushed an updated commit that restores the legacy configuration documentation with deprecation notices and clarifies the rate-limiting behavior.
