Activate cloud license during installation

Problem

Customers were able to add their license file during installation of their GitLab instance when using a legacy license. With Cloud License this is no longer possible.

Please note more details in this issue: gitlab#383878 (closed)

Workaround

Request an offline cloud license, which can be applied during installation.

Proposal

Add the ability to add activation code during the installation of a GitLab instance, similar to what was possible for legacy licenses: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/admin_area/license_file.html#add-your-license-file-during-installation.
