Adding instructions to configure the second cell to use gdk.test

Andy Hohenner requested to merge AndyWH-main-patch-83420 into main

What does this merge request do and why?

If you configure GDK to use the gdk.test url, you need to configure the second Cell to also use gdk.test so the two instances share logins. So this MR adds a link to the instructions to setup gdk.test for the second Cell.
