Update GitLab Runner connectivity

Emily Chang requested to merge update-gitlab-runner-connectivity into master

What does this MR do?

Fix the wording of the connectivity between GitLab Runner and GitLab instance

GitLab is not talking to runners. It's runner that talks to GitLab. And the autoscaled VM that talks to GitLab (e.g. updating Git sources or downloading/uploading artifacts).

Unless one wants to configure and use the CI Web Terminal feature (which indeed requires communication from GitLab to runner) the communication is always made in one direction.
