Simplify handling of storage configuration and IPs

[mcopik]

Currently, Kubernetes-based platforms require special treatment - storage needs to be deployed by the user. Documentation recommends using the manual jq command to input storage configuration, but we have recently added a CLI flag to simplify this process.

In future, we should handle it completely automatically and offer a CLI flag to just replace the IP address when needed.

hi @mcopik can I pick this up?

@ojninja16 Sure! it shouldn't be difficult - look through our instructions and simplify the storage handling :)

hi @mcopik can you give me some more context regarding the requirements of this issue, so I can get started with it

@ojninja16 Thanks for the interest! (I'm also checking the other PR you contributed, which should be merged soon.)

For this issue, we are referring to the documentation that describes the process of setting up for storage on OpenWhisk (same applies to Fission and Knative in pending PRs). Right now, we expect the user to manually change JSON config and replace this part in the main config or provide updated storage configuration via --storage-configuration flag (not yet described in docs).

My suggestion for a simple improvement should be to not require users to manually run jq. Instead, we should have a flag like --storage-ip and just replace the IP address.
