Add runbooks as category to release
This introduces runbooks as a new category for release in 2019, with https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/56091 as the first MVC to move forward with this feature. There are a few reasons why I think this is its own category, rather than a bullet point under release orchestration:
- Runbooks can also solve other operational needs; release orchestration problems can be solved here, but so can other interesting things
- Introduces new internal customer (production team)
- Also competes in new spaces against different kinds of products
I've placed this under the 'supporting functions' subgroup of Release, which I think this makes sense there as a standalone product category and also balances things more equally.

To-DO
If this is approved, I will need to:
-
create category vision epic for runbooks -
create a few more follow up items for improvements to include in category vision -
update existing issues as appropriate
