Ability to specify a custom Flyway migration location for a specific KIE module

We need to replace a PostgreSQL migration distributed by the following BAMOE 9.5.2 module:

org.jbpm:jbpm-addons-usertask-storage-jpa:9.5.2-ibm-0002

The module provides its KIE Flyway configuration through:

META-INF/kie-flyway.properties

For PostgreSQL, the descriptor defines:

module.name=jbpm-user-task-storage

module.locations.postgresql=classpath:kie-flyway/db/user-tasks/postgresql

We need to provide an alternative migration location for this specific module while keeping the module managed by the standard KIE Flyway initialization lifecycle.

We inspected the KIE Flyway configuration surface distributed with 9.5.2-ibm-0002.

The Spring Boot configuration exposes:

kie.flyway.enabled

and the following per-module configuration:

kie.flyway.modules.<module>.enabled

The per-module configuration object appears to expose only the enabled property.

We could not identify an equivalent configuration property such as:

kie.flyway.modules.<module>.locations

that would allow the migration location defined by the module descriptor to be replaced.
