Q1 FY27 - Update Organization schema
Update existing Organization schema.org markup to include:
* Add `https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GitLab_Inc.` to the `sameAs` array alongside the existing GitLab software page reference to strengthen entity reconciliation across both Wikipedia entries
* Align `@id` to standard convention (`https://about.gitlab.com/#organization`)
* Add `numberOfEmployees` property to `Organization` schema
* Add `industry` property to `Organization` schema
* Upgrade `knowsAbout` entries from generic `Thing` to more specific schema types where applicable
* Update `foundingDate` to full ISO 8601 format
### Proposed Markup
