Add GitLab interpretations of DORA metrics
What does this MR do?
This expands the Analytics Definitions by explaining how GitLab measures each of the 4 DORA metrics. Specifically, this explains some of the assumptions and nuances involved in GitLab's calculations.
This was motivated by &5300 (closed). More information on these definitions is available from sub-issues in that epic, and from documentation for the DORA API.
