Add documentation for fixing SELinux contexts

What does this MR do?

This MR added documentation for Omnibus Gitlab installation with SElinux enabled and custom Gitlab directory with symbolic links.

Related issues

On Omnibus Gitlab installation with SElinux enabled, when we install gitlab on custom path with symbolic link to /etc/gitlab/ and /var/opt/gitlab/, users cannot connect to Gitlab with ssh key.

There will be error like this after user send the public key:

debug3: receive packet: type 51

To fix this, Gitlab admin need to reconfigure the SELinux with the command on this MR.

Please see: #3828 (comment 106326334)
