Documentation: explain which secrets are needed in Gitaly HA config

Jacob Vosmaer requested to merge jv-doc-gitaly-ha-secrets into master

What does this MR do?

In our internal Gitaly HA / Praefect demos we see too much friction around managing secrets. Particularly the "gitlab-shell secret" that the Git hooks need. This MR tries to make the documentation clearer.
