Enable prometheus, update dataloss

Update listed gitaly config to enable prometheus. We are encouraging
use of grafana, so this
will be a useful default.

Also add a note that explicitly states that `dataloss` must be run on
a Praefect node.

## Identifying Impact of a Primary Node Failure
When a primary Gitaly node fails, there is a chance of data loss. Data loss can occur if there were outstanding replication jobs the secondaries did not manage to process before the failure. The Praefect `dataloss` sub-command helps identify these cases by counting the number of dead replication jobs for each repository within a given time frame.

A time frame to search can be specified with `-from` and `-to`:
```shell
sudo /opt/gitlab/embedded/bin/praefect -config /var/opt/gitlab/praefect/config.toml dataloss -from <rfc3339-time> -to <rfc3339-time>
