docs: connect to praefect database

Steve Xuereb requested to merge docs/praefect-connect-to-db into master

What

Update document on how to connect to the praefect database

Why

To connect to the database we need ssl certificates that only root can read. The dbconsole-praefect.sh script automates this for us.

All the other alternatives will no longer work since we turned on ssl_mode to be required https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-infra/production/-/issues/8308, meaning only allow connections via SSL.
