Support envFrom (k8s ConfigMap variable) in the ZosConnect Custom Resource (CR) schema

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Why is it useful? - The CR schema already supports the ConfigMap env variable, which provides fine-grained control when assigning ConfigMap-defined environment variables. envFrom is a simpler and quicker alternative which enables all of a ConfigMap's data to be defined as container environment variables - a more likely scenario for z/OS Connect customers.

Who would benefit? - all z/OS Connect customers deploying API Servers to k8s.

How would it work? - Instead of

env: - name: DB2_HOST valueFrom: configMapKeyRef: key: DB2_HOST name: sample-db2-conn - name: DB2_PORT valueFrom: configMapKeyRef: key: DB2_PORT name: sample-db2-conn - name: DB2_USERNAME valueFrom: secretKeyRef: key: DB2_USERNAME name: sample-db2-cred - name: DB2_PASSWORD valueFrom: secretKeyRef: key: DB2_PASSWORD name: sample-db2-cred

a customer would specify

envFrom:      - configMapRef:          name: db2-config
