Clarify limitation is about files in object storage

Brie Carranza requested to merge bcarranza-geo-obj-strg-docs into master

What does this MR do and why?

This is a small MR to update the Limitation of verification for files in Object Storage docs to make it a bit clearer that this limitation is about files stored in object storage.

While the name of that section is Limitation of verification for files in Object Storage, the note reads:

Locally stored files are verified but remote stored files are not.

This presented a problem because:

  • it was not clear without clarification to a few folks in Support that this limitation was about the fact that files in object storage not being verified.
  • the Locally stored files phrase that I'd like to quote and share is ambiguous

This came up when assisting a customer on a ticket that is available to GitLab team members with access to Zendesk. With the addition of CI job artifact verification in 14.10, folks who are upgrading and using object storage for job artifacts may run into this. Having this a bit clearer in the docs should help deflect a few tickets and make others quicker and easier to solve.
