Description

See https://github.com/brettwooldridge/HikariCP/issues/1096 for some background. We'll get a small performance boost in getConnection() and it'll also align us with the ideal usage of Hikari where the configuration is created and customised and then, once that's complete, it's used to create a HikariDataSource. The HikariDataSource then doesn't change (other than what's supported by Hikari's JMX integration).

Research direction

Start by reading the HikariCP issue linked in the description, then trace Spring Boot's auto-configured HikariDataSource creation and its HikariConfig setup. The change is complete when configuration is customised before creating the datasource, while the resulting datasource remains unchanged apart from supported Hikari JMX behaviour.
