Disable skel directory usage by default for DEB/RPM installation

Tomasz Maczukin requested to merge 4845-disable-skel-by-default into master

What does this MR do?

Makes the GITLAB_RUNNER_DISABLE_SKEL to be set to true by default during DEB/RPM package installation.

Why was this MR needed?

In GitLab Runner v12.10 we've made it possible to disable usage of skel directory when creating the user account during DEB/RPM package installation.

With the Major version update - in v14.0 - we want to make this behavior a default. The user, however, will be still able to force skel usage if needed.

What's the best way to test this MR?

What are the relevant issue numbers?

Closes #4845 (closed)
