Test Tugboat workflow is always failing due to DDEV installing newer database version

[davereid]

https://github.com/Lullabot/drainpipe/actions/workflows/TestTugboat.yml is always failing now because DDEV is being installed and started without configuring the database version before the first start:

Run ddev config --auto

The existing configuration will be updated and replaced.

unable to configure project drainpipe with database type mariadb:10.11 because that database type does not match the current actual database. Please change your database type back to mariadb:10.11 and start again, export, delete, and then change configuration and start. To get back to existing type use 'ddev config --database=mariadb:10.11', and you can try a migration with 'ddev debug migrate-database mariadb:10.4' see docs at https://ddev.readthedocs.io/en/stable/users/extend/database-types/

Why does it happen

• Install DDEV and starts, which installs MariaDB 10.11
• We then run the folllowing:

  ddev config --auto
  ddev config --php-version "8.1"
  ddev config --nodejs-version "18"
  ddev config --database=mariadb:10.4
  

• You can't downgrade the DDEV database version after the mariadb container has been initialized

Potential Solutions

1. Should we set these configurations first before the first DDEV start?
2. Should we just update our --database=mariadb:10.11? Should we be using these old versions of PHP and NodeJS?
3. Should we just run a ddev destroy and then re-configure? This seems like it would be slower.
4. Could we switch to using https://github.com/ddev/github-action-setup-ddev which provides an option to not start DDEV so it can be configured before first start?

@davereid there's a fix for it in #533 that we can separate out

@davereid I've pulled out the above (which is option #2) in your list, but please re-open if you think we should pick a different solution 😸
