Add gitlab_dedicated_instance application setting

What does this MR do and why?

Related to https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/390799.

This adds a database migration to add gitlab_dedicated_instance column to ApplicationSetting. The setting identifies instances that run as part of GitLab Dedicated and is not exposed anywhere as it will be manually set on setup. It's hard to otherwise determine whether an instance is self-managed or Dedicated in the application layer, where Service Ping metrics are collected.
