Add gitlab version exporter

Gonzalo Servat requested to merge add-gitlab-version-exporter into main

What does this MR do?

This MR implements a couple of cron jobs that write omnibus & GitLab component version info into the textfile collector directory for node-exporter. We do this in staging & production and these variables are used in dashboards like the delivery release management dashboard.

I'm not 100% sure we want this in GET as users may not care for this metric. There are many ways to implement this in Ansible so this is a proposal that we can iterate on.

I've tested this and it works fine in staging-ref, however it hasn't been tested in RHEL.

@gl-quality/eng-prod < not sure if this is the right group to mention as @gl-quality/get-maintainers doesn't seem to exist anymore.
