Update gitlab-ctl praefect with latest options

Will Chandler (ex-GitLab) requested to merge wc-gitaly-track-repositories into master

What does this MR do?

Support for 'track-repositories' Praefect command

Add the `track-repositories` command to `gitlab-ctl praefect` for easier
access. This allows many repositories to be tracked in a single batch by
reading the repositories to track from a file.

This also improves the formatting of the help text for `gitlab-ctl
prafect`. All argument descriptions now start on the same line as their
flags and are aligned. To re-use the same help text between
`track-repository` and `track-repositories`, we use the string as
a template that we add an arbitrary level of indentation to.

Links to documentation have also been fixed to reflect changes in
page anchors during recent updates.

Lastly, add support for the new -db-only flag for praefect remove-repository
