[BB-2558] Temporarily set default `FORUM_MONGO_AUTH_MECH` to `MONGODB-CR`

Boros Gábor requested to merge agrendalath/bb-2558-temporary_backwards-compatible_mongodb_auth into master

Created by: Agrendalath

This is a temporary change that sets the default authentication mechanism to MONGODB-CR. It will be reverted once we upgrade to SCRAM.

This option is ignored in Ironwood, so it affects only Juniper instances, which have it set to SCRAM by default.

This does not include testing the fix itself, because we're already using it, cf. relevant discussion and example instance.

Testing instructions

  1. Check that the test AppServer contains FORUM_MONGO_AUTH_MECH: :mongodb_cr in its Configuration.

Manual testing instructions

  1. Check the branch out on stage, create an instance and spawn new AppServer.
  2. In Ocim go to AppServer -> Configuration and confirm that FORUM_MONGO_AUTH_MECH: :mongodb_cr is present there.
