Revert gitlab-exporter default server to Puma
What does this MR do?
We recently made a change that defaults the gitlab-exporter Rack server to webrick instead of Puma, which was misguided. We found that the excess memory use was caused by other sources. Since Puma is easier to scale out due it being multi-threaded, all else being equal, it is the better choice after all.
We would like to retain the overall ability to swap out the Rack server, however, so we're only changing the default value.
See also gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab!4922 (merged) in which we propose changes that improve memory use regardless of which server is used.
