How to approve OpenShift operator upgrade using CLI.md

Install the operator using the Manual approval strategy, see the attached screenshot.

An install plan has been created but not executed as it has not been approved:

oc get installplan -n openshift-logging
NAME            CSV                                    APPROVAL   APPROVED

Approve the installation of the operator by updating the approved field of the InstallPlan:

$ oc patch installplan install-dq68d \
    --namespace openshift-logging \
    --type merge \
    --patch '{"spec":{"approved":true}}'

Check that the operator has been installed:

$ oc get csv -n openshift-logging
