Adding new handbook page for Law Enforcement Guidelines

Bronwyn Barnett requested to merge BronwynBarnett-master-patch-20826 into master

Why is this change being made?

On the advice of outside counsel the Privacy Team has created Guidelines for Law Enforcement Request outlining the various scenarios and available user data for use by law enforcement agencies as well as for the benefit of GitLab customers. A public facing handbook page will improve the efficiency and accuracy of both Privacy and SIRT team members engaged for action related to law enforcement requests and will serve as a reference source which we will be able to direct to law enforcement agents who reach out with requests.

The Guidelines will also serve as a resource in responding to customer inquiries related to how GitLab handles requests from law enforcement or government agencies.
