Use DNS option in TOML to avoid proxy and route in docs

Caleb Cooper requested to merge cc-dns-route-around-proxy into master

What does this MR do?

Add a section to the "Troubleshoot GitLab Runner" which instructions on using the DNS configuration in the [runner.docker] section of the Runner's config.toml file.

Why was this MR needed?

A customer ran into a problem where there Docker+machine runner in AWS was failing to pull down the project and was, instead, getting a "fatal: Authentication failed" error. It turned out that this was caused by a failure of the container to use the proper DNS (provided over VPN) and used public DNS instead.

The intent of this MR is to create an entry in the documentation covering this scenario so that it will show up in search results.
