v4.5.2

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

Following #20927, I think Application Services should be available to assign a Config Context, just like both Tags and Roles are.

Use case

Assign specific configuration, for example a Zabbix template to monitor Apache metrics.

We cannot use Role because it's single-valued, and we already use it for functional roles ("Application server" vs. "Infrastructure server"), and "Apache" is not a functional but a technical role. Moreover, the same server would have more roles: "MariaDB", "PHP", etc.).

We could go away with Tags. But I feel Application Service is the correct way; if it were available in Config Context, of course.
