Document workaround for fixing the registry after a restore
Problem to solve
In https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/62759 we discovered that gitlab's restore functionality results in a broken container registry.
Further details
The proper fix for this issue may take some time to develop, so we should document the workaround right away, as mentioned in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/24250#note_18192290 The fix is to run sudo chown -R registry:registry /var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-rails/shared/registry/docker
after restoring.
Proposal
The workaround should be documented in https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/raketasks/backup_restore.html#restore
