Add --datasource.* CLI flags to replace DATA_SOURCE_* env vars #1372
Description
Part of #1371.
Summary
GetDataSources() in exporter/datasource.go currently reads the Postgres connection config only from env vars, with no CLI flag path. Add flags that provide the same configuration options, so the env vars have something to deprecate in favor of.
New flags
--datasource.dsn(replacesDATA_SOURCE_NAME)--datasource.uri(replacesDATA_SOURCE_URI)--datasource.uri-file(replacesDATA_SOURCE_URI_FILE)--datasource.user(replacesDATA_SOURCE_USER)--datasource.user-file(replacesDATA_SOURCE_USER_FILE)--datasource.pass(replacesDATA_SOURCE_PASS)--datasource.pass-file(replacesDATA_SOURCE_PASS_FILE)

Add --datasource.* CLI flags to replace DATA_SOURCE_* env vars

Same feedback we gave to #1376: Let's not have sensitive information like database secrets in CLI flags. This can be easily exploited because CLI flags are written to files in the /proc filesystem.
