promote jakarta.persistence.database-xxxx config properties

[gavinking]

The configuration properties jakarta.persistence.database-product-name, jakarta.persistence.database-major-version, and jakarta.persistence.database-minor-version are currently defined as part of the container/provider contract.

But these properties are generally-useful as a way of configuring the persistence provider when access to JDBC metadata is not available at startup time (for example, in Quarkus, or in some cloud environments). And so Hibernate has never treated them as specific to container-based configuration.

We should promote these to the same status as other application-settable config properties, and add them to PersistenceConfiguration.

Hibernate will use jakarta.persistence.database-xxxx for resolving dialect but EclipseLink will not, the specification only mention them for configuring the schema generation process, I think it should promoted too.

Yes, exactly, that's what I'm trying to say.
