feat: Enable automatic DB reindexing in CNG installations
Related to gitlab-com/gl-infra/delivery#21668
Automatic database reindexing is possible in Omnibus installation by flipping some configuration
values inside the gitlab.rb file. As far as I can tell, Helm chart installations that use
CNG (Cloud Native GitLab) container images do not have a native method for runnig reindexing
periodically.
The Toolbox chart already has a CronJob for taking a backup. So, I am proposing that we add a CronJob that will perform automatic database reindexing on a user-specified schedule: gitlab-org/charts/gitlab!4665
