Strimzi operator does not work on non-FIPS node

Summary

With FIPS enabled in the base image, the Strimzi operator does not work on a non-FIPS node

Steps to reproduce

On a cluster that has nodes without FIPS, run the Strimzi operator

What is the current bug behavior?

The pod crashes with the following error NSS module not available: fips. This is a Java error, not a Strimzi error.

What is the expected correct behavior?

The Strimzi operator should work fine and get to the "Ready" state

Relevant logs and/or screenshots

Possible fixes

Following the guide at https://access.redhat.com/solutions/5696401, the security.useSystePropertiesFile property in java.security should be set to false to turn off FIPS in Java. Because this file is only writable by root, it must be done when the image is built. Adding sed -i 's/security.useSystemPropertiesFile=true/security.useSystemPropertiesFile=false/g' ${JAVA_HOME}/conf/security/java.security to the Dockerfile would fix this.
