Option to disable jenkins key upload to Gerrit instance

Problem:

Some projects already have their own Jenkins instance (not adop) or they maybe using something else such as Bamboo or GoCD. They just want to deploy Gerrit as an addition to their DevOps tooling stack.

Simple solution:

If we can have something like, $GET_SSH_JENKINS_KEY = false, then skip running upload_ssh_key.sh.

Deleting projects in Gerrit

Sometimes, you need to cleanup Gerrit and remove repositories. In these cases, there is no way of doing that from Gerrit web interface, and using CLI and direct database manipulation is not really recommended.
Fortunately for us, there is a delete project plug-in for Gerrit. I'm using it, for example for demo boxes that I want to clean after a demo, so platform is ready for a new one.
My approach is manual after ADOP is provisioned. But it would be easy to modify the image to include the plug-in if others find it useful.

How to:

1. SSH into the Docker machine, e.g.:

docker-machine ssh adop-aws-demo

2. Download plug-in from Gerrit Forge (note which version of Gerrit you have, to get the right plug-in version):

wget https://gerrit-ci.gerritforge.com/view/Plugins-stable-2.10/job/plugin-delete-project-stable-2.10/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/buck-out/gen/plugins/delete-project/delete-project.jar

3. Move the plug-in to Gerrit plug-ins folder:

sudo mv delete-project.jar /var/lib/docker/volumes/gerrit_review_site/_data/plugins

4. Restart Gerrit container:

sudo docker restart gerrit
