First pass to bring /gitlab-basics to SSoT standardsdocs-ssot-gitlab-basics-1

Removes duplicated information, and combines sections and files
together when they are duplicated or highly related. Also adds
intros to all pages and sections missing intros, and troubleshooting
sections to pages that may need them in the future. Links more to
other docs, and clarifies language when abosolutely necessary, and
adds angle brackets to sample parameters.
