Improve TLS custom cert documentation

Pedro Pombeiro (OOO from July 16th till Aug 7th) requested to merge docs/27092-improve-tls-docs into master

What does this MR do?

  • It updates the tls-self-signed.md page to be much more explicit regarding the options available to the user regarding how to configure TLS, namely outlining 2 main scenarios: GitLab-only connections, and generic OS-level TLS configuration that works with other applications.
  • It also outlines the two contexts that must be considered: build containers and helper containers. It explains why in the build container the user is responsible for all the TLS setup that might be required.
  • It adds a note (with link to issue) regarding Kubernetes not respecting the image ENTRYPOINT, and therefore TLS certificates not being automatically installed.
