Improve Dependency Scanning documentation on "Specific settings for languages and package managers"

Problem to solve

The Dependency Scanning documentation is confusing: Screenshot_2020-04-23_19.40.02.

Further details

There's no direct link with the topic ("Specific settings for languages and package managers") and GEMNASIUM_DB_REMOTE_URL, there must be some mix up there.

Proposal

Fix the variable being used, and also why users would want to do that: "For every language and package manager, add the following to the variables section of .gitlab-ci.yml:". It doesn't explain what problem we can solve by doing so.

Who can address the issue

@ngaskill is surely the best to fix this doc.
