ISLANDORA-2393 Allowing SSL connection params to be set

ISLANDORA-2393 : https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/ISLANDORA-2393

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-j/8.0/en/connector-j-reference-using-ssl.html

Adding support for SSL connections to the drupal database integrated with a fedora repository. Apart for some spacing and a few comments it is just adding parsing of a few SSL connection params from the filter-drupal.xml and adding them onto to the jdbcUrl.

Just dropping a note that Megan does have a CLA on file, so this is all clear on that front 👍

@megwill4268 How could one set up an environment to test this? Is setting up mysql to use SSL that big of a hassle? Because this looks like a solid security improvement.

I mean, have we been doing it wrong all along?

I can work on setting up an automated test for this, I expected you would ask. As for the necessity of encrypting the database connection, it all depends on your architecture. Within a single server monolith it isn't so necessary. In my case our fedora and drupal databases are hosted in different networks, hence the need for encrypting and cert verification.
