Description

The environment variables for the Fineract container which are set e.g. in the https://github.com/apache/fineract/blob/develop/docker-compose.yml and in the https://github.com/apache/fineract/blob/develop/kubernetes/fineract-server-deployment.yml to configure the data sources originally were all stuffed into a single line JAVA_OPTS line.

We originally had to use system properties and could not use environment variables, because these used to read by Tomcat, but since the switch to Hikari in FINERACT-796 these are read by Spring Boot instead of Tomcat, so we can now use environment variables.

So now it's actually possible to do this much more nicely, and separate them.
