Adds a new mysqldExporter.extraFlags property that can be used to pass custom flags to mysqld_exporter to enable/configure additional collectors. Also, makes it possible to override the collect.info_schema.tables.databases value if needed. The default behaviour and collector flags remain unchanged.

This PR largely follows existing code conventions in the operator. I added a new FormatArgsConvertBoolean() method to Flags to support mysqld_exporter's flag format. Added the tests for it and for the existing FormatArgs() and Merge() methods.

Closes #470.

It's possible that mysqldExporter.extraFlags are provided while
mysqldExporter.resources are not.

Similar to checkPodStatusWithTimeout(), but uses selectors and checks
the pod spec for matches.

Thanks for the helpful pointers, @frouioui! I regenerated the operator.yaml file and updated the tests to verify the exporter flags during an upgrade. I also made mysqldExporter.resources optional, otherwise it wasn't possible to provide extraFlags without also providing resources.

The upgrade test is passing locally, but is failing in CI. Unfortunately, I'm not able to see the reason. I noticed that the post-upgrade verifyVtGateVersion sometimes fails due to a race condition caused by upgrade-related pod restarts. I have ideas on improving this, but won't be able to contribute in the next couple of weeks.

Note to myself: once the next release (v2.15.0) is out, we should do that check before and after we upgrade.

These tests are unfortunately pretty flaky indeed 😢 Hopefully we get some time to work on this.

Merged main into the branch on the last push, hoping this will alleviate some of the flakiness.

Still flaky/failing. I added a retry mechanism to the verify vtgate version function. Hopefully that should help.
