Add config to disable impersonation

Adds gitlab.impersonation_enabled config option defaulting to true to
keep the current default behaviour.

Only the act of impersonation is modified, impersonation token
management is not affected.

+#### Disable impersonation
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/40385) in GitLab
+11.6.
+
+By default, impersonation is enabled. To disable impersonation, GitLab must be
+reconfigured:
+
+**For Omnibus installations**
+
+1. Edit `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`:
+
+    ```ruby
+    gitlab_rails['impersonation_enabled'] = false
+    ```
+
+1. Save the file and [reconfigure](../administration/restart_gitlab.md#omnibus-gitlab-reconfigure)
+   GitLab for the changes to take effect.
+
+To re-enable impersonation, remove this configuration and reconfigure GitLab.
+
+---
+
+**For installations from source**
+
+1. Edit `config/gitlab.yml`:
+
+    ```yaml
+    gitlab:
+      impersonation_enabled: false
+    ```
+
+1. Save the file and [restart](../administration/restart_gitlab.md#installations-from-source)
+   GitLab for the changes to take effect.
+
+To re-enable impersonation, remove this configuration and restart GitLab.
