Add a section on work/life harmony to the Distribution handbook

DJ Mountney requested to merge distribution-wl-harmony into master

Why is this change being made?

Part of updating the Distribution handbook to be better at sharing GitLab's culture and values with new team members.

The idea is that the GitLab handbook itself is too big and daunting to be able to rely on it as an onboarding tool unless we link to SPECIFIC areas.

The goals:

  • New team members learn GitLab values and culture from specific GitLab handbook links in their onboarding issue
  • The Distribution specific handbook will reinforce those values and culture links, as well as provide 'further reading' areas that branch out into the other areas of the GitLab handbook that we have found to be important/useful to our team.
