Backport of 'Add Orbit settings alias for knowledge_graph'

What does this MR do and why?

This backports !248500 (merged) to GitLab 19.2.

It adds orbit as the primary Rails settings section while preserving knowledge_graph as a backward-compatible alias to the same settings object. This keeps existing configurations working after the Omnibus key rename in omnibus-gitlab!9620 (merged).

MR acceptance checklist

This checklist encourages us to confirm any changes have been analyzed to reduce risks in quality, performance, reliability, security, and maintainability.

  • This MR is backporting a bug fix, documentation update, or spec fix, previously merged in the default branch.
    • This is not a bug fix. It is backported under the approved exception for Orbit backports because the alias keeps existing knowledge_graph configuration working after the Omnibus key rename.
  • The MR that fixed the bug on the default branch has been deployed to GitLab.com (not applicable for documentation or spec changes).
    • Pending merge and deployment of the master merge request.
  • The MR title is descriptive (e.g. "Backport of 'title of default branch MR'"). This is important, since the title will be copied to the patch blog post.
  • Required labels have been applied to this merge request
  • This MR has been approved by a maintainer (only one approval is required).
  • Ensure the e2e:test-on-omnibus-ee job has succeeded, or if it has failed, investigate the failures. If you determine the failures are unrelated, you may proceed. If you need assistance investigating, request help in the #s_developer_experience Slack channel to confirm the failures are unrelated to the merge request.
