Add details about data storage

Nels Nelson requested to merge nnelson/www-gitlab-com:nnelson/add-details-about-what-data-is-stored into master

Why is this change being made?

Based on a conversation between an infrastructure engineer and an enterprise technical account manager, this contribution attempts to add some extra details about the data stored by the GitLab application service. Ideally this will lend some clarity to readers about what exactly is stored by our application and infrastructure and where that data medium is located.
