What does this PR do?

We're moving away from using the 'magic' Rails DATABASE_URL in favor of individual database configuration values for PostgreSQL.

This PR removes the environment specific naming convention in the environment variables, such that they can be re-used simply in config/database.yml

Why are we doing this? Any context of related work?
