gitlab-rails dbconsole is broken on GItLab 14.2.3

Summary

While troubleshooting a different issue with a customer, we encountered an error when running gitlab-rails dbconsole:

`db_config': 'primary' database is not configured for 'production'. Available configuration: #<ActiveRecord::DatabaseConfigurations:0x00007f7c10dc7cb8 @configurations=[#<ActiveRecord::DatabaseConfigurations::HashConfig:0x00007f7c10dc7b28 @env_name="production", @name="main", @configuration_hash={:adapter=>"postgresql", :encoding=>"unicode", :collation=>nil, :database=>"gitlabhq_production", :username=>"gitlab", :password=>nil, :host=>"/var/opt/gitlab/postgresql", :port=>5432, :socket=>nil, :sslmode=>nil, :sslcompression=>0, :sslrootcert=>nil, :sslca=>nil, :load_balancing=>{"hosts"=>[]}, :prepared_statements=>false, :statement_limit=>1000, :connect_timeout=>nil, :keepalives=>nil, :keepalives_idle=>nil, :keepalives_interval=>nil, :keepalives_count=>nil, :tcp_user_timeout=>nil, :application_name=>nil, :variables=>{"statement_timeout"=>nil}}>]> (ActiveRecord::AdapterNotSpecified)

However, GitLab is still working properly. I managed to reproduced this on a new install of GitLab 14.2.3.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install GitLab 14.2.3
  2. Run gitlab-rails dbconsole

Example Project

What is the current bug behavior?

gitlab-rails dbconsole fails with an error where it thinks that

What is the expected correct behavior?

gitlab-rails dbconsole should drop you in a Postgres session.

Possible fixes

It seems that it thinks that this is a Geo install, and then it tries to access the Primary database.
