support those we must connect to the correct URL when using one of these
custom servers.

add preliminary 7.6 upgrade guide

Add preliminary 7.6 upgrade guide. Makes it easier to add upgrades as changes are made rather than trying to round up everything at RC1.

Initial additions:
* Nginx changes needed again in 7.6 as they did not make the final 7.5 upgrade guide
* Suggest that user sets time zone (added in https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/pull/8015 but missed in final 7.5 upgrade guide)

Replaces https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/pull/8124

Definition of done added to the docs.
