Update gitlab-runner/config.toml location

Nikhil George requested to merge ngeorge1-main-patch-35364 into main

What does this merge request do and why?

This is a documentation change. The documentation to setup dockerized runner for GDK the suggests /tmp/gitlab-runner as the host folder that is shared with the container.

mkdir /tmp/gitlab-runner
docker run --rm -it -v /tmp/gitlab-runner:/etc/gitlab-runner gitlab/gitlab-runner register --run-untagged

However /tmp/gitlab-runner does not work with Docker Desktop alternatives, such as Rancher and Colima. This MR is to call out this case and suggests to use ~/gitlab-runner instead of /tmp/gitlab-runner.
