Add External Production Gitaly details to Chart Prerequisites

Matthew Guyer requested to merge mattguyer/gitlab:master into master

What does this MR do?

The MR adds a section to the page titled "GitLab Chart Prerequisites" noting the prerequisite of an external Gitaly instance for Production GitLab deployments.

The same requirement is mentioned on the Installing GitLab by using Helm page for Redis, Postgres, and Gitlay. The requirement is mentioned again for Redis and Postgres on the GitLab Chart Prerequisites page but left out for Gitaly. I found this confusing and incongruent on my first read of the docs and wanted to help clarify for future users.
