[Catalyst] Working with project configurationfileoutsideofCatalyst directory

[Alexander Hartmaier]

I'd suggest to remove the db connection settings from the myapp.conf
file entirely and create one additional config file with just the prod
db settings and one for the test db.
You control with *additional* config file is loaded with the
MYAPP_CONFIG_LOCAL_SUFFIX env var.

When you set this env var to 'testing' in your testing file (or better
library included in every test file) you prevent to ever run the test
code against the prod db...yes that happens... ;-(
