Provide an IBM-owned URL for Updating OLM CatalogSource YAML Files

It would be beneficial to be able to supply an IBM-owned location for applying updates to the CatalogSource for the Operators (but also other configurations that must be applied based on IBM template YAML). Some customers block all "raw" paths. 

Here is the CP4I documentation related to updating catalog sources: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cloud-paks/cp-integration/16.1.3?topic=images-adding-catalog-sources-openshift-cluster

Take App Connect for example. The command to apply the new catalog source for the updated operator v12.19.0 is:

oc apply --filename https://raw.githubusercontent.com/IBM/cloud-pak/master/repo/case/ibm-appconnect/12.19.0/OLM/catalog-sources.yaml

The CatalogSource points back to the IBM Container Registry and customers would like the ability to have an alternative and preferably automated manner in picking up these new Catalog Sources where the "raw" path is blocked by their security teams. This results in manual effort to research, find, download, and apply all relevant elements and essentially creates an air-gapped environment because the config YAMLs are unavailable.
