Add some clarification for some files under config/*

Add some clarification for some files under config/*

I didn't add a lot of them because I am not very familiar about how they
work and I am not sure if we really need to explain files like
config/database.yml because if you know Rails you must know how
that works.

At any rate, I think this is a beginning and we could keep documenting
more files in the future.

Closes #18373

Configuration files Documentation

Note that most configuration files (config/*.*) committed into gitlab-ce will not be used for omnibus-gitlab. Configuration files committed into gitlab-ce are only used for development.

gitlab.yml

You can find most of GitLab configuration settings here.

mail_room.yml

This file is actually an YML wrapped inside an ERB file to enable templated values to be specified from gitlab.yml. mail_room loads this file first as an ERB file and then loads the resulting YML as its configuration.

resque.yml

This file is called resque.yml for historical reasons. We are NOT using Resque at the moment. It is used to specify Redis configuration values instead.
