Coalesce gitaly token and gitlab shell secret handling into a
single section in the Gitaly docs. Also fix instructions for using
TLS on a source install.

### 2. Client side token configuration
### 2. Authentication
Configure a token on the instance that runs the GitLab Rails application.
Gitaly and GitLab use two shared secrets for authentication, one to authenticate gRPC requests
to Gitaly, and a second for authentication callbacks from Gitaly to the GitLab internal API.

There are two ways to configure the required tokens:
1. Copy `/etc/gitlab/gitlab-secrets.json` from the client server to same path on the Gitaly server.
1. [Reconfigure GitLab](../restart_gitlab.md#omnibus-gitlab-reconfigure).
**OR**

Gitaly must trigger some callbacks to GitLab via GitLab Shell. As a result,
the GitLab Shell secret must be the same between the other GitLab servers and
the Gitaly server. The easiest way to accomplish this is to copy `/etc/gitlab/gitlab-secrets.json`
from an existing GitLab server to the Gitaly server. Without this shared secret,
Git operations in GitLab will result in an API error.
