Add a message asking to enable usage ping feature to administrators

Description

We want to add the EE usage ping feature to CE (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/23361). Before an instance sends the usage ping, we need to ask for permissions to send it to the administrators.

This message is only shown for CE installations.

Proposal

  • UX: We need to add a message at the top of the user interface, visible only to the administrators, presenting the usage ping and asking to use it: YES/NO + learn more link. You can take inspiration from https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/23361#note_20033830
  • UX: Learn more should redirect to the documentation
  • Once the answer is recorded (whatever the answer), we shall never display this bar again.
  • This message appears in the administration area: this is where the administrators who just upgraded the instance will likely go to check if the version has changed.

The message is as follow:

To help improve GitLab Community Edition, you can anonymously send usage 
statistics to the team. The resulting data play a key role in deciding what to focus on.

We don't collect any private information. You can see the exact payload [here]().

YES/NO
