Make External DB support available in foreman-{deb,el}
Currently the guides are hidden (https://github.com/theforeman/foreman-documentation/pull/981). However, it can be made to work. What needs to happen:
- Package names & file need to be generalized. Software Collections are only used on EL7. Note this is also needed for EL8 support.
- The
-evrpackage is only needed on Katello - Only the Foreman DB is needed. Candlepin and Pulpcore are Katello-only
postgresql-setup initdbis Red Hat only. On Debian the defaultapt installalready initializes a DB and starts it.
I opened https://github.com/theforeman/foreman-documentation/pull/2396 but that needs some additional work. I'll pick it back up after https://github.com/theforeman/foreman-documentation/pull/3167 because that greatly simplifies the whole procedure.

Hi @ekohl, just FYI: #3167 has just been merged.
@ekohl, with https://github.com/theforeman/foreman-documentation/pull/2396#event-18415412333 closed, can we close this issue?
No, but I've set it up so when #3783 is merged it will be.
https://github.com/theforeman/foreman-documentation/pull/3985, which replaces https://github.com/theforeman/foreman-documentation/pull/3783, has been merged.
