Add Environment state definitions

Hunter Stewart requested to merge hustewart-env-state-doc into master

What does this MR do and why?

We have 3 primary user facing states for environments, but they're definitions are not concisely stated in single location.

Since these states are user facing and have specific to GitLab meaning, they should be defined in the documentation.

Clarifying these state definitions can make it simpler for users to map their own concepts of Environments to how we use them in GitLab. As precise definitions of Environments will vary, anything we can do to improve the user's experience of mapping those concepts should improve usability and communication.
