Document plan to migrate CI tables to new database

Dylan Griffith requested to merge document-ci-migration-to-new-database-plan into master

Why is this change being made?

We are planning to move ci_* tables to a new database to reduce load on the main database gitlab-org&6168 (closed). This document will outline the plan (mainly from the infrastructure side) of how we'll actually perform the cutover with minimal user impact.
