Product will not have the overlay distribution.

The overlay exists because we can't distribute EAP within community.    
Keycloak should be run as a separate server, so, IMO, -keycloak.xml 
files should go away and overwrite standalone.xml, standalone-ha.xml and 
domain.xml

I'm pretty adamant about this.  There will be a huge amount of confusion 
if we don't make this separation.  Wildfly/JBoss and Keycloak are hard 
enough to configure as it is.
