If a custom environment variable EXTERNAL_DATABASE_URL is set and no DATABASE_URL exists for the app, dokku-postgres will not create the DATABASE_URL when linking (will use another name). I think dokku-postgres checks for an environment variable containing DATABASE_URL in its name, instead of specifically checking for a variable named DATABASE_URL exactly.
Steps to Reproduce
Execute the following commands:
export APP_NAME=testapp
export DB_NAME=pg_testapp
dokku apps:create $APP_NAME# First test (success) - if no env vars containing `DATABASE_URL` are present, the variable is created correctly
dokku postgres:create $DB_NAME -i postgres -I 16-bookworm --shm-size 2g
dokku postgres:link $DB_NAME$APP_NAME# Creates DATABASE_URL# Second test (fail)
dokku postgres:unlink $DB_NAME$APP_NAME
dokku config:set $APP_NAME EXTERNAL_DATABASE_URL=something
dokku postgres:link $DB_NAME$APP_NAME# Creates DOKKU_POSTGRES_AQUA_URL
Actual Results

Expected Results
The very last postgres:link should set the env var named DATABASE_URL instead of DOKKU_POSTGRES_AQUA_URL.
