What does this merge request do and why?
This MR sets the default installation directory name for GDK to gdk
and updates the documentation accordingly. This is done because long paths can lead to errors like invalid argument: your socket path is likely too long, please change Gitaly's runtime directory
during socket creation. See #2164.
How to set up and validate locally
Numbered steps to set up and validate the change are strongly suggested.
The updated documentation should be proofread.
