Removing references to openshift container platform, bumping CRD (#1415)

# Summary

We removed support for deploying via OpenShift operatorhub / marketplace
a few months back. The burden of maintaining the certifications/process
required was sufficient to pull that feature set out moving forward and
migrate it to AIStor as part of a more complete enterprise offering.

For now we need to remove references to the operator hub / marketplace.
It is possible that the Openshift Kubernetes Engine may work w/ our
stock kubernetes installation paths, but we do not have resources to
test.

So for the immediate term, we're just going to pull whats outdated.

Also throwing in a fixup to the CRDs - I ran into a weird issue where I
had to `pip3 install asciidoc` before the sync-operator-crd-docs job
worked, am looking into that separately.

-Overview
---------
-
-Red Hat® OpenShift® is an enterprise-ready Kubernetes container platform with full-stack automated operations to manage hybrid cloud, multi-cloud, and edge deployments. 
-OpenShift includes an enterprise-grade Linux operating system, container runtime, networking, monitoring, registry, and authentication and authorization solutions. 
-
-You can deploy the MinIO Kubernetes Operator through the :openshift-docs:`Red Hat® OpenShift® Container Platform 4.8+ <welcome/index.html>`. 
-You can deploy and manage MinIO Tenants through OpenShift after deploying the MinIO Operator. 
-This procedure includes instructions for the following deployment paths:
-
-- Purchase and Deploy MinIO through the `RedHat Marketplace <https://marketplace.redhat.com/en-us/products/minio-hybrid-cloud-object-storage>`__.
-- Deploy MinIO through the OpenShift `OperatorHub <https://operatorhub.io/operator/minio-operator>`__
-
-After deploying the MinIO Operator into your OpenShift cluster, you can create and manage MinIO Tenants through the :openshift-docs:`OperatorHub <operators/understanding/olm-understanding-operatorhub.html>` user interface.
-
-This documentation assumes familiarity with all referenced Kubernetes and OpenShift concepts, utilities, and procedures. 
-While this documentation *may* provide guidance for configuring or deploying Kubernetes-related or OpenShift-related resources on a best-effort basis, it is not a replacement for the official :kube-docs:`Kubernetes Documentation <>` and :openshift-docs:`OpenShift Container Platform 4.8+ Documentation <welcome/index.html>`.
-
-Prerequisites
--------------
-
-RedHat OpenShift 4.8+
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-The MinIO Kubernetes Operator is available starting with `OpenShift 4.8+ <https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.13/welcome/index.html>`__.
-
-Red Hat Marketplace installation requires registration of the OpenShift cluster with the Marketplace for the necessary namespaces.
-See `Register OpenShift cluster with Red Hat Marketplace <https://marketplace.redhat.com/en-us/documentation/clusters>`__ for complete instructions.
-
-For older versions of OpenShift, use the generic :ref:`deploy-operator-kubernetes` procedure.
-
-Administrator Access
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Installation of operators through the Red Hat Marketplace and the Operator Hub is restricted to OpenShift cluster administrators (``cluster-admin`` privileges). 
-This procedure requires logging into the Marketplace and/or OpenShift with an account that has those privileges.
-
-OpenShift ``oc`` CLI
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-:openshift-docs:`Download and Install <cli_reference/openshift_cli/getting-started-cli.html>` the OpenShift :abbr:`CLI (command-line interface)` ``oc`` for use in this procedure.
-
-
-Procedure
----------
-
-1) Access the MinIO Operator Installation
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Select the tab that corresponds to your preferred installation method:
-
-.. tab-set::
-
-   .. tab-item:: Red Hat OperatorHub
-
-      Log into the OpenShift Web Console as a user with ``cluster-admin`` privileges. 
-
-      From the :guilabel:`Administrator` panel, select :guilabel:`Operators`, then :guilabel:`OperatorHub`.
-
-      From the :guilabel:`OperatorHub` page, type "MinIO" into the :guilabel:`Filter` text entry. Select the :guilabel:`MinIO Operator` tile from the search list.

-
-      Select the :guilabel:`MinIO Operator` tile, then click :guilabel:`Install` to begin the installation.
-
-   .. tab-item:: Red Hat Marketplace
-
-      Open the `MinIO Red Hat Marketplace listing <https://marketplace.redhat.com/en-us/products/minio-hybrid-cloud-object-storage>`__ in your browser.
-      Click :guilabel:`Login` to log in with your Red Hat Marketplace account.
-
-      After logging in, click :guilabel:`Purchase` to purchase the MinIO Operator for your account.
-
-      After completing the purchase, click :guilabel:`Workplace` from the top navigation and select :guilabel:`My Software`.

-
-      Click :guilabel:`MinIO Hybrid Cloud Object Storage` and select :guilabel:`Install Operator` to start the Operator Installation procedure in OpenShift.
-
-2) Configure and Deploy the Operator

-
-- For :guilabel:`Approval Strategy`, select the approval strategy of your choice.
-
-See the :openshift-docs:`Operator Installation Documentation <operators/admin/olm-adding-operators-to-cluster.html#olm-installing-from-operatorhub-using-web-console_olm-adding-operators-to-a-cluster>` :guilabel:`Step 5` for complete descriptions of each displayed option.

-
-3) Configure TLS Certificates
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-If you have installed the MinIO Operator from Red Hat OperatorHub, the installation process also configures the :openshift-docs:`OpenShift Service CA Operator <security/certificate_types_descriptions/service-ca-certificates.html>`.
-This Operator manages the TLS certificates required to access MinIO Tenants.
-It automatically renews and rotates the certificates 13 months before expiration.
-No additional action is required.
-
-For Operator installations deployed by other methods, configure the :openshift-docs:`Service CA certificates <security/certificate_types_descriptions/service-ca-certificates.html>` manually.
-See the dropdowns below for details.
-
-.. dropdown:: OpenShift Service CA Certificate configuration
-
-   To manually enable the ``service-ca`` Operator to manage TLS certificates:
-
-   #. Use the following :openshift-docs:`oc <cli_reference/openshift_cli/getting-started-cli.html>` command to edit the deployment:
-
-      .. code-block:: shell
-         :class: copyable
-
-         oc edit deployment minio-operator  -n minio-operator
-
-      If needed, replace ``minio-operator`` with the name and namespace of your deployment.
-      ``oc edit`` opens the deployment configuration file in an editor.
-
-   #. In the ``spec`` section, add the highlighted MinIO Operator :ref:`environment variables <minio-server-environment-variables>`:
-
-      .. code-block:: shell
-         :class: copyable
-         :emphasize-lines: 5-8
-
-         containers:
-         - args:
-           - controller
-           env:
-            - name: MINIO_CONSOLE_TLS_ENABLE
-              value: 'on'
-            - name: MINIO_OPERATOR_RUNTIME
-              value: OpenShift
-
-   #. In the ``volumes`` section, add the following volumes and volume mounts:
-
-      - ``sts-tls``
-      - ``openshift-service-ca``
-      - ``openshift-csr-signer-ca``
-
-      The added volume configuration resembles the following:
-
-      .. code-block:: shell
-         :class: copyable
-
-         volumes:

-
-   For Helm deployments on OpenShift, add the following :ref:`environment variables <minio-server-environment-variables>` and volumes to the ``values.yaml`` in the Operator Helm chart before deploying.
-
-   The added YAML configuration for the ``operator`` pod resembles the following:

-4) Open the MinIO Operator Interface
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-You can find the MinIO Operator Interface from the :guilabel:`Operators` left-hand navigation header
-
-1. Go to :guilabel:`Operators`, then :guilabel:`Installed Operators`.
-
-2. For the :guilabel:`Project` dropdown, select :guilabel:`openshift-operators`.
-
-3. Select :guilabel:`MinIO Operators` from the list of installed operators.
-   The :guilabel:`Status` column must read :guilabel:`Success` to access the Operator interface.
-
-
-5) Next Steps
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-After deploying the MinIO Operator, you can create a new MinIO Tenant.
-To deploy a MinIO Tenant using OpenShift, see :ref:`deploy-minio-tenant-redhat-openshift`.
