Document updating CE container to EE container

What does this MR do?

Resolves omnibus-gitlab#2994 (closed). cc @dralexx & @joshlambert

What I've done to test this:

  1. docker-compose up with gitlab/gitlab-ce:latest
  2. Register new user.
  3. docker-compose down && sed -i '' 's/-ce/-ee/g' docker-compose.yml && docker-compose up
  4. Logging in with the previously registered user:

Those (DB-level) steps did not cover repository data and/or secrets, which …

  • … is an open question about whether secrets.json needs to be treated especially. Logically, no, because it would be in $GITLAB_HOME/config as well 🤔

Author's checklist

If you are only adding documentation, do not add any of the following labels:

  • ~"frontend"
  • ~"backend"
  • ~"type::bug"
  • ~"database"

These labels cause the MR to be added to code verification QA issues.

Review checklist

Documentation-related MRs should be reviewed by a Technical Writer for a non-blocking review, based on Documentation Guidelines and the Style Guide.

  • If the content requires it, ensure the information is reviewed by a subject matter expert.
  • Technical writer review items:
    • Ensure docs metadata is present and up-to-date.
    • Ensure the appropriate labels are added to this MR.
    • If relevant to this MR, ensure content topic type principles are in use, including:
      • The headings should be something you'd do a Google search for. Instead of Default behavior, say something like Default behavior when you close an issue.
      • The headings (other than the page title) should be active. Instead of Configuring GDK, say something like Configure GDK.
      • Any task steps should be written as a numbered list.
      • If the content still needs to be edited for topic types, you can create a follow-up issue with the docs-technical-debt label.
  • Review by assigned maintainer, who can always request/require the reviews above. Maintainer's review can occur before or after a technical writer review.
  • Ensure a release milestone is set.
