Migrate connector repos into monorepo

This issue is to track the feasibility of migration the connector repos into this monorepo.

Problem statement

The connectors are in separate repos, which results in...

1. Inconsistent automated maintenance and CI workflows (i.e. dependency/vuln. management, code/commit linting, CLA/DCO)
2. Disparate issue trackers (harder to keep track of connector-specific issues)
3. Non-integrated CI testing (i.e. integration tests are not executed on changes within the connector repo)

Potential concerns

1. Slower CI build times - This concern was raised when this repo was utilising Travis CI, which had slow a VM spin-up duration, and rather limited co-current actions. With GitHub Actions, this concern is potentially mitigated.
2. Maxing out CI minutes - This was an issue with Travis CI where there was a quota on build times. This is not an issue with GitHub Actions which has unlimited minutes for public repos.
3. Loss of commit history - lerna import --preserve-commit will preserve the relative commit history, and retain the original commit authors and committers.
4. Linux-only testing - GitHub Actions only supports containers/services with ubuntu-* images. Currently, the CI pipeline for most connectors are hosted under cis-jenkins.swg-devops.com, which isn't currently publicly-accessible AFAIK.

Connectors

These are the connectors that are officially maintained:

• loopback-connector-mysql
• loopback-connector-postgresql
• loopback-connector-mongodb
• loopback-connector-rest
• loopback-connector-mssql
• loopback-connector-soap
• loopback-connector-oracle
• loopback-connector-cloudant
• loopback-connector-cassandra
• loopback-connector-couchdb2
• loopback-connector-db2
• loopback-ibmdb
• loopback-connector-dashdb
• loopback-connector-grpc
• loopback-connector-kv-redis
• loopback-connector-openapi
• loopback-connector-sqlite3
• loopback-connector-elastic-search
• loopback-connector-redis

• strong-soap

Commencez par examiner les dépôts de connecteurs listés et leurs workflows CI existants, puis évaluez les problématiques de migration décrites dans l’issue, notamment l’historique des commits et les environnements de test. Le travail est terminé lorsqu’une décision de faisabilité et un plan de migration prenant en compte la liste des connecteurs, l’intégration CI et les risques indiqués ont été produits.
