[database:add] add option to add settings to $databases['default']['default']

[Kwadz]

The command database:add does not allow to create the first database defined by $databases['default']['default']. This can be useful in case a fresh install that you want to connect to an existing database. Currently the command only allows adding database in addition to the default one.

I suggest adding an option like --default to add the default database. The current template add.php.twig is:

$databases['{{ database }}']['default'] = [
  'database' => '{{ database }}',
  'username' => '{{ username }}',
  'password' => '{{ password }}',
  'host' => '{{ host }}',
  'port' => '{{ port }}',
  'driver' => '{{ driver }}',
  'prefix' => '{{ prefix }}',
];

I suggest adding add-default.php.twig:

$databases['default']['default'] = [
  'database' => '{{ database }}',
  'username' => '{{ username }}',
  'password' => '{{ password }}',
  'host' => '{{ host }}',
  'port' => '{{ port }}',
  'driver' => '{{ driver }}',
  'prefix' => '{{ prefix }}',
];

This new template would be called instead, when using --default option.

What do you think? I'd be pleased to do a pull request.

@enzolutions, I tried to fork and do a pull request on https://github.com/hechoendrupal/drupal-console-book to update the doc but I realised this repo is read-only. Would you know how I can update the doc for this new command?

@Kwadz The docs for commands are generated based in command translations https://github.com/hechoendrupal/drupal-console-en

BTW last month we migrate the documentation to use GatsbyJS, so the repository https://github.com/hechoendrupal/drupal-console-book was declared archived and replaced by https://github.com/hechoendrupal/drupalconsole.com/tree/master/content/docs

In case you are interested in translate something else than commands.
