Adds details about adding links to external accounts. Fixes #54884.

knod requested to merge knod/gitlab-ce:patch-37 into master

What does this MR do?

https://about.gitlab.com/2018/08/09/keeping-your-account-safe/ has a link that says 'consider adding other online identities to your profile' (to help verify your identity) that leads to https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/profile/#profile-settings. I was confused when there didn't seem to be any relevant instructions or clarifications there, and made an issue. There I offered to attempt an edit myself and @eread gave the go-ahead, so I'm adding those details and making sure to connect the dots between what the article says and the actual user interface.

[Edit: Right now, the section for adding external accounts in the user profile isn't described. This adds that description. As far as authentication goes, that article is outdated and those links aren't used for that anymore.]

What are the relevant issue numbers?

#54884 (closed) (Sort of. Goals changed.)

Does this MR meet the acceptance criteria?

I'm honestly not sure which of these criteria I need to meet. This is really a superficial change. Sorry for any confusion.

Style guides - the markdown style guide doc was very long. I tried to follow it, but mostly looked at the other entries in the existing doc and tried to copy that. I also tried to use plain language as much as I could.
