Add explicit warning not to copy .gitaly-metadata

Will Chandler (ex-GitLab) requested to merge wc-gitaly-metadata-warn into master

What does this MR do?

Add a warning to the Gitaly docs not to copy the .gitaly-metadata file to a Gitaly server; doing so will cause GitLab use Rugged with repos hosted on a remote Gitaly server.

This leads to intermittent failures that are hard to diagnose, as calls that use Rugged will fail while ones that use Gitaly continue are fine.
