Red Hat OpenShift GitOps Bug fix for v1.8.3 release

Description

Red Hat OpenShift GitOps Bug fix for v1.8.3 release required to fix a major bug reported by a customer.

Before this update, when `Autoscale` was enabled and the horizontal pod autoscaler (HPA) controller tried to edit the replica setting in server deployment, the Operator overwrote it. In addition, any changes specified to the autoscaler parameters were not propagated correctly to the HPA on the cluster.

Solution

This update fixes the issue. Now the Operator reconciles on replica drift only if `Autoscale` is disabled and the HPA parameters are updated correctly.

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
