db migrations should not be used to modify external databases
Description
in katello 3.0 db migrations are used to modify pulp and candlepin databases.
IMHO this is the wrong approach which creates a lot of upgrades related issues (e.g. its enough one backend service malfunction and the entire upgrade is broken).
I think this should be redesigned, to use foreman-tasks or out side of the rails db migration process.
not to mention, so of the modifications do take a lot of time, and the ux experience on the installer is far from behind friendly (e.g. pulp migrations them self took more than 30 minutes on my system).

We do avoid this when possible, but in this case the amount of changes needed was too dramatic and tables were going to be deleted in future migrations that contained needed data.
