Object Storage can't replace NFS for Gitaly

James Ramsay (ex-GitLab) requested to merge gitaly-cant-use-object-storage into master

What does this MR do?

Gitaly requires block storage, and fast IO. This isn't what object storage provides. Furthermore, the linked object storage docs do not provide any information about how one would even use object storage in this way.
