Update documentation with secure password encryption method

Peter Willis requested to merge peterwwillis/gitlab-ee:patch-8 into master

What does this MR do?

Updates documentation to use a secure form of password encryption for ssh keys.

Are there points in the code the reviewer needs to double check?

Nope.

Why was this MR needed?

This documentation comes up on a list of the top 10 Google search results for "how do I create an ssh key". As SSH's default password encryption method is insecure, and many users will be using your documentation to generate SSH keys, it is important we update public documentation to use the more secure methods.
