Clean up gitlab-shell install-from-source instructions

Nick Thomas requested to merge clean-up-install-from-source-gitlab-shell into master

What does this MR do?

GitLab Shell is an external component of gitlab that has gone through a number of changes recently. The install-from-source docs and code have not been updated to fully reflect that, so this MR makes a number of changes to bring it up to date:

  • GitLab Shell no longer talks directly to Redis, so doesn't need REDIS_URL
  • The SKIP_STORAGE_VALIDATION envvar no longer has any effect, so we don't need to set it
  • GitLab Shell is no longer written in Ruby, so we don't need to include so many caveats in the documentation

Does this MR meet the acceptance criteria?

Conformity
