Add installation type to usage ping data

Balasankar 'Balu' C requested to merge install-type into master

What does this MR do?

Related to omnibus-gitlab#2418 (closed)

Add type of installation an attribute in usage pings. Just like figuring out version from VERSION file, this uses a TYPE file (we can find a better name). By default, its value is set to source, pointing that it is a source installation. In omnibus packages it is set to omnibus, in docker image it is set to docker and in our AWS AMI, we set it to aws. This is done by omnibus-gitlab!2561 (merged). Another MR will be submitted to version.gitlab.com codebase to accept this parameter. https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/version-gitlab-com/merge_requests/145 adds the necessary stuff to version.gitlab.com
