1. Proposed title of this feature request

UI Support for preparing an OCP mirror

2. What is the nature and description of the request?

Customers running OCP in internet-disconnected environments all have the same pre-requisite steps to fulfil:

1. determine what's available
2. select desired content
3. mirror desired content into an offline environment
4. configure cluster / installer to use the offline mirror

oc mirror has been created to centralize and simplify steps 1-3. With those initial asks addressed, users are seeking further simplification via a UI driven process.

Specifically a web UI should exist in the context of OpenShift cluster management at console.redhat.com to allow to accomplish the following tasks:

• discover and select from a list of existing OCP releases and channels versions that are desired in a disconnected environment
• discover and select from a list of catalogs, channels and releases of OpenShift optional (OLM-managed) operators desired to be available in a disconnected environment
• create a valid oc mirror image set configuration file that reflects the selection made above
• upload an existing image set configuration file for the purpose of further modification / updates through the uI

3. Why does the customer need this? 

People prefer browsing lots of content and granularly selecting subsets of content via a browser-based user interface rather than through a CLI client. CLI-focussed experiences for day0/day1 tasks are perceived as an adoption hurdle and may prolong timelines for pilots and inhibit experimental use of the product.
