Resolve "Docs feedback: Error in Verifying the SSH host keys"

What does this MR do?

Fix the following issues as reported by @kevin.brok1

There is an error in the following Doc: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/ssh_keys/#help-and-feedback

In the Verifying the SSH host keys part, it says that you can add a known host from an Enrivonment Variable with the following command:

  • echo "$SSH_KNOWN_HOSTS" > ~/.ssh/known_hosts

But shouldn't it be:

  • echo "$SSH_KNOWN_HOSTS" >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts

The same goes for:

  • '[[ -f /.dockerenv ]] && echo -e "Host *\n\tStrictHostKeyChecking no\n\n" > ~/.ssh/config'
