Call out gitlab:uploads:migrate:all as the most common use case

Ben Prescott_ requested to merge docs-bprescott-20200730-zd170987-migrate into master

What does this MR do?

Most customers will be migrating all their uploads to object storage, such as the GitLab Premium customer who raised a ticket (internal link) for an error they saw trying to do this.

The rake task is referred to as gitlab:uploads:migrate - for example, in links to the detailed docs. Running just that results in an error.

This MR make it much clearer that :all is probably the task to use, and documents the error as a troubleshooting step.

Author's checklist (required)

Do not add the feature, frontend, backend, ~"bug", or database labels if you are only updating documentation. These labels will cause the MR to be added to code verification QA issues.

When applicable:

Review checklist

All reviewers can help ensure accuracy, clarity, completeness, and adherence to the Documentation Guidelines and Style Guide.

1. Primary Reviewer

  • Review by a code reviewer or other selected colleague to confirm accuracy, clarity, and completeness. This can be skipped for minor fixes without substantive content changes.

2. Technical Writer

  • Technical writer review. If not requested for this MR, must be scheduled post-merge. To request for this MR, assign the writer listed for the applicable DevOps stage.
    • Ensure docs metadata are present and up-to-date.
    • Ensure Technical Writing and documentation are added.
    • Add the corresponding docs:: scoped label.
    • Add twdoing when starting work on the MR.
    • Add twfinished if Technical Writing team work on the MR is complete but it remains open.

3. Maintainer

  1. Review by assigned maintainer, who can always request/require the above reviews. Maintainer's review can occur before or after a technical writer review.
  2. Ensure a release milestone is set.
  3. If there has not been a technical writer review, create an issue for one using the Doc Review template.
