Update Vault Cluster Install Documentation

Jamie Reid requested to merge vault-docs-update into master

What does this MR do?

Our documentation on using GitLab CI/CD to install Vault in a managed cluster does not make it clear how to expose Vault outside of the cluster. While this may not be a desirable production configuration, it does seem like a common approach for a first-time proof of concept. For example; a user on Gitlab.com deploying vault to a managed cluster, but running CI jobs on our SaaS shared runners (i.e. off cluster).

For new vault users, leveraging the UI may also be beneficial in understanding the state and structure of the secrets within vault.
