Now MySQL is no longer supported, we need to change the docs

This updates our build images to use node@12. We are also adding a
sentence to the from-source installation that while we require a minimum
version of node@8, we also recommend node@12. Last but not least, we
change the version of node in the .nvmrc so that developers using nvm
can automatically use node@12 with the project

This is an initiative to ensure all documentation complies completely
with the Documentation Style Guide section "Documentation is the single
source of truth (SSOT)" according to this epic
https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/1280.

In particular, the changes of this commit touch all files under
doc/install/. Most notably:

- install/redis.md:
        Redirect to Redis section of install guide.

- install/pivotal/index.md:
        Changed its content to reflect the current status, which is no
        longer supported (since 2017!).

- install/google-protobuf.md:
        Incorporated inside installation.md under the troubleshooting section.

- install/openshift_and_gitlab.md:
        Clarified that this guide is no longer relevant. We might want to
        redirect to the Chart docs in the future.

- install/structure.md:
        Incorporated inside installation.md under its own section.

- install/kubernetes/index.md:
        Redirected to https://docs.gitlab.com/charts

The use of the branch 11-7-stable meant release managers would have to
update this file every month, which is tedious and easy to overlook. To
work around this, we simply use a placeholder and make it clear that the
reader needs to replace this with the appropriate branch.

- Also makes other minor Markdown fixes that were near the main fixes.

Attempt to update google-protobuf for migration-paths

Because the one we were using aren't compatible with
Ruby 2.5.3, and it'll be troublesome to switch Ruby.
Upgrading google-protobuf will be much easier.

All of them will need to be updated for Ruby 2.5.3

We remove oj because we don't really need it and it
doesn't compile on 2.5.3 with that version.
