Issue #3981: Switch Pulp3 settings to Dynaconf
database configuration docs are confusing
Description
The install docs here:
say: Databases can be configed in the databases section of your server.yaml. See the Django database settings documentation for more information on setting the databases values in settings.yam
Yet the syntax presented in the django documentation is different than that in server.yaml. The differences include commas vs no commas, quotes vs no quotes, (yaml vs python) and there seems to be an OPTIONS hash in the example that isn't used for postgresql but is used for sqlite?
Some of this may be less confusing when the defaults are closer to what i wanted (i.e. postgresql), but if the syntax isn't the same i'd suggest not relying on django docs.

I agree with the issue, it's confusing with the syntax differences. Here are two options, can someone comment on these or if another one would be better?
One option
1. Add a section that talks about the server.yaml file and explains that it "overlay's" onto a settings file. It would not go into details about what any given setting does.
2. Explain the syntax differences when overlaying?
3. Point to the django docs.
Another option is to switch the settings.yaml to settings.py somehow.

Problem: Pulp can't be configured using environment variables
Solution: use dynaconf to manage all of Pulp configuration settings
This patch also adds pulpcore.rqconfig module that is dynamically generated from the Django settings generated by dynaconf. The rq workers use this module for their configuration.
The default location of the config file is now at /etc/pulp/settings.py. Pulp can operate without by relying
on environment variables.
