Improve consistency of Runners location in the Nav in Admin view

Release notes

When looking at the Admin view today, Runners lives in the Overview section of the Nav sidebar. The placement is inconsistent with the Group and Project views, as Runners will live in the CI/CD nav item based on #19819 (closed). We should edit the placement of Runners in the Admin view to follow the same pattern.

Problem to solve

When looking at the Admin view today, Runners lives in the Overview section of the Nav sidebar. The placement is inconsistent with the Group and Project views, as Runners will live in the CI/CD nav item based on #19819 (closed). This causes mental model confusion for users who are constantly jumping between Instance, Group and Project views.

Intended users

User experience goal

The user should know where to go when looking for Runners and expect to find it in the same place, no matter the Runners view they are visiting.

Proposal

Move Runners from Overview > Runners to a new nav item CI/CD > Runners

Further details

The discussion around this problem arose in #19819 (comment 677450556), while we were working on moving Runners to CI/CD > Runners in the Group view.
