Update external container registry instructions

on how to achieve that.
## Disable Container Registry but use GitLab as an auth endpoint
## Use an external container registry with GitLab as an auth endpoint
**Omnibus GitLab**
You can use GitLab as an auth endpoint and use a non-bundled Container Registry.
You can use GitLab as an auth endpoint with an external container registry.
1. Open `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb` and set necessary configurations:
```ruby
gitlab_rails['registry_enabled'] = true
gitlab_rails['registry_host'] = "registry.gitlab.example.com"
gitlab_rails['registry_port'] = "5005"
gitlab_rails['registry_api_url'] = "http://localhost:5000"
gitlab_rails['registry_path'] = "/var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-rails/shared/registry"
gitlab_rails['registry_issuer'] = "omnibus-gitlab-issuer"
```
1. A certificate keypair is required for GitLab and the Container Registry to
communicate securely. By default Omnibus GitLab will generate one keypair,
which is saved to `/var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-rails/etc/gitlab-registry.key`.
When using a non-bundled Container Registry, you will need to supply a
custom certificate key. To do that, add the following to
`/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`
NOTE: **Note:**
`gitlab_rails['registry_enabled'] = true` is needed to enable GitLab's
Container Registry features and authentication endpoint. GitLab's bundled
Container Registry service will not be started even with this enabled.
1. A certificate-key pair is required for GitLab and the external container
registry to communicate securely. You will need to create a certificate-key
pair, configuring the external container registry with the public
certificate and configuring GitLab with the private key. To do that, add
the following to `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`:
```ruby
gitlab_rails['registry_key_path'] = "/custom/path/to/registry-key.key"
# registry['internal_key'] should contain the contents of the custom key
# file. Line breaks in the key file should be marked using `\n` character
# Example:
registry['internal_key'] = "---BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY---\nMIIEpQIBAA\n"
# Optionally define a custom file for Omnibus GitLab to write the contents
# of registry['internal_key'] to.
gitlab_rails['registry_key_path'] = "/custom/path/to/registry-key.key"
