Grafana 11.6.1+: configuring database by GF_DATABASE_URL is broken. #104844
Description
What happened?
I'm running Grafana in a k3s cluster, using Postgres as a backend db. I was running v11.6.0+security-01 and upgraded to v11.6.1. Grafana now fails to start:

What did you expect to happen?
Nothing was mentioned in release notes for 11.6.1, so expected a smooth upgrade.
Did this work before?
Was working fine on v11.6.0+security-01 . No indication on what causes the problem on v11.6.1.
How do we reproduce it?
