feat(pgdb): export config discovery functions for display purposes

Add FindConfig, ParseURIConfig, and GetConfigFiles as exported functions
to allow callers to retrieve database configuration info without
establishing a connection. Useful for version/startup info display.

 ## Environment Variables
 
+- `DATABASE_URI` - PostgreSQL connection URI (takes precedence over config files)
 - `DATABASE_CONFIG_FILE` - Override config file location
 
+### URI Format
+
+Standard PostgreSQL URI format:
+```
+postgresql://user:password@host:port/database?sslmode=require&pool_max_conns=10
+```
+
+Pool settings can be included in the URI query string:
+- `pool_max_conns`, `pool_min_conns`
+- `pool_max_conn_lifetime`, `pool_max_conn_idle_time`
+- `pool_health_check_period`
+
+When using `DATABASE_URI`, `PoolOptions` are ignored and all settings come from the URI.
+
+Example with CloudNativePG:
+```yaml
+# Mount the secret's 'uri' key as DATABASE_URI
+env:
+  - name: DATABASE_URI
+    valueFrom:
+      secretKeyRef:
+        name: mydb-app
+        key: uri
+```
+
