Docs: Add note for servers limiting to TLS v1.3

Harsh Chouraria requested to merge docs-hchouraria-lfs-tls-v1.3 into master

What does this MR do?

LFS operations may fail on older versions of Git LFS clients and GitLab Runners (due to older helper images carrying older Git LFS clients) if the GitLab server is configured to prevent TLS v1.2 connections and only accept TLS v1.3.

While restricting TLS v1.2 isn't a trend yet, some security-research organizations may elect to use such a configuration internally on their instances.

Review checklist

Documentation-related MRs should be reviewed by a Technical Writer for a non-blocking review, based on Documentation Guidelines and the Style Guide.

  • If the content requires it, ensure the information is reviewed by a subject matter expert.
  • Technical writer review items:
    • Ensure docs metadata is present and up-to-date.
    • Ensure the appropriate labels are added to this MR.
    • If relevant to this MR, ensure content topic type principles are in use, including:
      • The headings should be something you'd do a Google search for. Instead of Default behavior, say something like Default behavior when you close an issue.
      • The headings (other than the page title) should be active. Instead of Configuring GDK, say something like Configure GDK.
      • Any task steps should be written as a numbered list.
      • If the content still needs to be edited for topic types, you can create a follow-up issue with the docs-technical-debt label.
  • Review by assigned maintainer, who can always request/require the above reviews. Maintainer's review can occur before or after a technical writer review.
  • Ensure a release milestone is set.
