docs: Add trusted-certs path to ldap documentation

Jefferson Jones requested to merge docs-ldap-certs into master

What does this MR do and why?

Customer shared that after enabling "verify_certificates" => true under gitlab_rails["ldap_servers"] ={} and then doing gitlab-ctl reconfigure && gitlab-rake gitlab:ldap:check

That would result in the check failing because it couldn't verify the certificate presented during the TLS session establishment. This was with the ca_file being pointed at /etc/gitlab/ssl/acme-ca.pem. Only by putting acme-ca.pem in /etc/gitlab/trusted-certs/acme-ca.pem was the customer able to have gitlab-rake gitlab:ldap:check succeed.
