Clarify the definition of "Enterprise User"

Bogdan Denkovych requested to merge clarify-enterprise-user-definition into master

Why is this change being made?

We strive to come to the state when "Enterprise user" term == user with provisioned_by_group_id that matches the group's ID. The GitLab implementation reflects this definition.

In gitlab-org&9675 (closed) we want to create the automatic process that will [mark a user as an Enterpriser user == set provisioned_by_group_id] if they match the following condition:

1. The user's email has a domain that is owned by the company of the paid group, _and_ the user account meets _one of_ the following conditions:
  - was created 2021-02-01 or later.
  - has a SAML or SCIM identity tied to the organization's group.
  - is a member of the organization's group, where the subscription was purchased or renewed 2021-02-01 or later.

This MR is intended to clarify the definition of the "Enterprise User" term: If a user has a provisioned_by_group_id value that is the same as the organization's group's ID, they are an Enterprise User.
