Add info on switching from HTTPS to SSH

Jon Glassman requested to merge update-sssm into master

Why is this change being made?

Adds information on how, after using the single script setup method, you can switch your cloned www-gitlab-com from HTTPS to SSH.

I've proposed this after, when going through this step as part of my onboarding, I found it confusing that when I tried to push a handbook edit from my local repo, I was asked for my personal access token, instead of my SSH key or passphrase. After speaking to IT help, they gave me a command to run that would switch the repo from HTTPS to SSH. I thought it would be useful to state this in the handbook.
