Docs and scripts to install Gitaly from source

Jacob Vosmaer (GitLab) requested to merge gitaly-install-rake into master

What does this MR do?

  • add Gitaly to the init script
  • add a rake task that downloads/compiles the right version of Gitaly
  • document how to (optionally) enable Gitaly in source installations
  • add bin/with_env to allow setting environment variables for Gitlay via an 'env file' (shell variable format)

Are there points in the code the reviewer needs to double check?

Why was this MR needed?

Gitaly is already included in Omnibus. Source installations should have the option to use it too.

Does this MR meet the acceptance criteria?
