Updating a recurring grammar mistake project-wide
What is the Issue?
There is a common grammar mistake throughout the project which I keep noticing, so I decided to try to clean it up. Set up and Setup are different, so this issue will track the MRs cleaning up the grammar of "set up" and "setup" across the entire project: documentation, code comments, views, etc. The only code that is touched are strings visible to users (like in haml files, for example), code comments and internationalization. The rest will be documentation. I may miss a few, but I think I'll be able to catch the majority.

Grammar Explanation
Setup is a noun or adjective, while set up is a verb. An easy way to think about it is to replace them with configuration or configure, so:
setup ≅ configuration (noun/adjective)
set up ≅ configure (verb)
Examples from GitLab itself (with images below, red boxes = incorrect, green boxes = correct):
You can setup as many Runners as you need. ≅ You can configuration as many Runners as you need.
You can set up as many Runners as you need. ≅ You can configure as many Runners as you need.
Specify the following URL during the Runner setup: ≅ Specify the following URL during the Runner configuration:
Specify the following URL during the Runner set up: ≅ Specify the following URL during the Runner configure:
