Refactor the upgrading from source docs

Instead of requiring one separate document for every version (which is
created by release managers), we now use a single document for both
Community Edition and Enterprise Edition. This allows developers to add
guidelines right away, instead of release managers having to determine
what to add.

Version specific upgrading instructions are placed in a separate
section. This prevents instructions from lingering around for many
versions should a developer forget to remove them. This also ensures
that all instructions are kept in a single place, instead of being
spread across different documents.

A minor downside is that CE and EE guidelines now live in the same
document, which could cause merge conflicts. Since we are working
towards a single codebase, this should only be an issue until we merge
the codebases together; something we expect to do in the coming months.

This commit also removes all old upgrading instructions, but these can
still be accessed using Git branch specific URLs (included in the
updating README).

-# From 8.7 to 8.8
-
-Make sure you view this update guide from the tag (version) of GitLab you would
-like to install. In most cases this should be the highest numbered production
-tag (without rc in it). You can select the tag in the version dropdown at the
-top left corner of GitLab (below the menu bar).
-
-If the highest number stable branch is unclear please check the
-[GitLab Blog](https://about.gitlab.com/blog/archives.html) for installation
-guide links by version.
-
-### 1. Stop server
-
-    sudo service gitlab stop
-
-### 2. Backup
-
-```bash
-cd /home/git/gitlab
-sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:backup:create RAILS_ENV=production
-```
-
-### 3. Get latest code
-
-```bash
-sudo -u git -H git fetch --all
-sudo -u git -H git checkout -- db/schema.rb # local changes will be restored automatically
-```
-
-For GitLab Community Edition:
-
-```bash
-sudo -u git -H git checkout 8-8-stable
-```
-
-OR
-
-For GitLab Enterprise Edition:
-
-```bash
-sudo -u git -H git checkout 8-8-stable-ee
-```
-
-### 4. Update gitlab-shell
-
-```bash
-cd /home/git/gitlab-shell
-sudo -u git -H git fetch --all --tags
-sudo -u git -H git checkout v2.7.2
-```
-
-### 5. Update gitlab-workhorse
-
-Install and compile gitlab-workhorse. This requires
-[Go 1.5](https://golang.org/dl) which should already be on your system from
-GitLab 8.1.
-
-```bash
-cd /home/git/gitlab-workhorse
-sudo -u git -H git fetch --all
-sudo -u git -H git checkout v0.7.1
-sudo -u git -H make
-```
-
-### 6. Install libs, migrations, etc.
-
-```bash
-cd /home/git/gitlab
-
-# MySQL installations (note: the line below states '--without postgres')
-sudo -u git -H bundle install --without postgres development test --deployment
-
-# PostgreSQL installations (note: the line below states '--without mysql')
-sudo -u git -H bundle install --without mysql development test --deployment
-
-# Optional: clean up old gems
-sudo -u git -H bundle clean
-
-# Run database migrations
-sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production
-
-# Clean up assets and cache
-sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake assets:clean assets:precompile cache:clear RAILS_ENV=production
-
-```
-
-### 7. Update configuration files
-
-#### New configuration options for `gitlab.yml`
-
-There are new configuration options available for [`gitlab.yml`][yaml]. View them with the command below and apply them manually to your current `gitlab.yml`:
-
-```sh
-git diff origin/8-7-stable:config/gitlab.yml.example origin/8-8-stable:config/gitlab.yml.example
-```
-
-#### Git configuration
-
-Disable `git gc --auto` because GitLab runs `git gc` for us already.
-
-```sh
-sudo -u git -H git config --global gc.auto 0
-```
-
-#### Nginx configuration
-
-Ensure you're still up-to-date with the latest NGINX configuration changes:
-
-```sh
-# For HTTPS configurations
-git diff origin/8-7-stable:lib/support/nginx/gitlab-ssl origin/8-8-stable:lib/support/nginx/gitlab-ssl
-
-# For HTTP configurations
-git diff origin/8-7-stable:lib/support/nginx/gitlab origin/8-8-stable:lib/support/nginx/gitlab
-```
-
-If you are using Apache instead of NGINX please see the updated [Apache templates].
-Also note that because Apache does not support upstreams behind Unix sockets you
-will need to let gitlab-workhorse listen on a TCP port. You can do this
-via [/etc/default/gitlab].
-
-[Apache templates]: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-recipes/tree/master/web-server/apache
-[/etc/default/gitlab]: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/8-8-stable/lib/support/init.d/gitlab.default.example#L37
-
-#### Init script
-
-Ensure you're still up-to-date with the latest init script changes:
-
-    sudo cp lib/support/init.d/gitlab /etc/init.d/gitlab
-    
-For Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS:
-
-    sudo systemctl daemon-reload
-
-### 8. Start application
-
-    sudo service gitlab start
-    sudo service nginx restart
-
-### 9. Check application status
-
-Check if GitLab and its environment are configured correctly:
-
-    sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:env:info RAILS_ENV=production
-
-To make sure you didn't miss anything run a more thorough check:
-
-    sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:check RAILS_ENV=production
-
-If all items are green, then congratulations, the upgrade is complete!
-
-## Things went south? Revert to previous version (8.7)
-
-### 1. Revert the code to the previous version
-
-Follow the [upgrade guide from 8.6 to 8.7](8.6-to-8.7.md), except for the
-database migration (the backup is already migrated to the previous version).
-
-### 2. Restore from the backup
-
-```bash
-cd /home/git/gitlab
-sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:backup:restore RAILS_ENV=production
-```
-
-If you have more than one backup `*.tar` file(s) please add `BACKUP=timestamp_of_backup` to the command above.
