Docs: Add Custom CA note to self-signed cert docs

Caleb Cooper requested to merge cc-custom-ca-in-tls into master

What does this MR do?

Had a customer who random into problems setting up a Helm deployment because they needed to integrate with another service but when following the documentation on this page, they did not see anything on providing custom CAs. While this is not really part of setting up the TLS for GitLab itself, the absence of any note led to confusion. This change adds a note about custom CAs and points to the documentation on configuring those.
