Title: adding update info regarding gitlab-shell config.yml (re: dashboard update problems)

Commit gitlabhq/gitlab-shell@93bfff7b3fc30fc362b90c4d362528f6e49786e6 from Chris adds remote redis support to to gitlab-shell.

Because of the new feature, additional configuration options must be specified in gitlab-shell's [config.yml](https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlab-shell/blob/master/config.yml.example).

The [documentation](https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/blob/master/doc/update/5.0-to-5.1.md) that describes upgrading from GitLab 5.0 to 5.1 mentions updating gitlab-shell to v1.3.0 but does not inform the upgrader that changes have been made to `config.yml` and that the user's existing `config.yml` needs to be updated with the new options.

Without the redis configuration options, I encountered issues similar to: #4027, #3633, #4061, and #3807.

After updating gitlab-shell's `config.yml` with the new redis options, the dashboard updates correctly again.
