Automatically create additional databases and run migrations

What does this MR do?

Automatically create additional databases and run migrations. Followup to !5480 (merged)

Testing

  1. Install GitLab using the package from this MR, run reconfigure, and ensure it is up and running
  2. Add the following to /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb and run reconfigure
    gitlab_rails['databases']['ci']['enable'] = true
    gitlab_rails['databases']['ci']['db_database'] = 'gitlabhq_production_ci'
  3. See in reconfigure logs that the database is getting created and migrations are getting run.
  4. Start a pipeline in a project.
  5. Run the following command and see it returns valid output, thus confirming CI related stuff now goes to the new DB.
    $ sudo gitlab-psql -d 'gitlabhq_production_ci' -c 'select * from ci_builds;'
