Remove rsync instruction from promote-to-primary

James Ramsay (ex-GitLab) requested to merge jramsay-4209-remove-rsync into master

The promote-to-primary-node command is used for disaster recovery using geo to recover quickly. It is possible the primary may never be recovered, but at the very least it is almost certain that the primary is not currently accessible.

This command should provide feedback that relates to the process of making the GitLab instance accessible again. Additional data recovery tasks, particularly those requiring the old primary to be brought back online, are secondary and should be documented later in the process.
