Rename variable to CI_SERVER_FQDN to match expected value

Marcel Amirault requested to merge ci-variable-server-fqdn into master

What does this MR do and why?

Following up on last week's !145950 (merged), I realized that this variable probably should be named CI_SERVER_FQDN to match all the similar variables. Because this variable's value is the server's FQDN, not the component's FQDN. It aligns with the other variables, for example:

Variable Defined for GitLab Runner Description
CI_COMPONENT_FQDN? 🤔 Pipeline 16.10 all The fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the instance. For example gitlab.example.com:8080.
CI_SERVER_FQDN 👍 Pipeline 16.10 all The fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the instance. For example gitlab.example.com:8080.
CI_SERVER_HOST Pipeline 12.1 all The host of the GitLab instance URL, without protocol or port. For example gitlab.example.com.
CI_SERVER_PORT Pipeline 12.8 all The port of the GitLab instance URL, without host or protocol. For example 8080.
CI_SERVER_PROTOCOL Pipeline 12.8 all The protocol of the GitLab instance URL, without host or port. For example https.
CI_SERVER_URL Pipeline 12.7 all The base URL of the GitLab instance, including protocol and port. For example https://gitlab.example.com:8080.
CI_SERVER_VERSION Pipeline all all The full version of the GitLab instance.

While it is being added to support the CI/CD components feature, CI_COMPONENT_FQDN does not accurately describe the content of the variable.
