Draft: Add support for GitLab Rails Nginx SSL

Grant Young requested to merge gy-rails-nginx-ssl-support into main

What does this MR do?

MR adds support to enable SSL for GitLab Rails Nginx. This is a core touchpoint and as a result the feature requires the following:

  • Support for single node setups where external SSL variables are followed instead
  • NGinx internal support (when behind load balancer with SSL termination)
  • HAProxy CA support (when it is the load balancer with SSL termination)
  • Gitaly Internal Callback Support (via Internal Load Balancer passthrough)
