Docs: fix misleading image name for offline scanning

Sam Farrington requested to merge SamFarrington/gitlab:master into master

What does this MR do and why?

The existing documentation on using the scanner in and offline environment subtlety renames container-scanning to gitlab-container-scanning.

Personally this has cost me a few hours wondering why the image wouldn't pull from our proxy docker registry.

Given the pattern from other GitLab SAST images, where the registry prefix is the only thing that changes, I think the image shouldn't be renamed on the documentation.

If anyone renames their image whilst moving it, they will have made a conscious decision to do so and will therefore be more likely to diagnose any issues they are having, rather than the current situation where a pass-through proxy docker registry required deviating from the examples.
