Documentation : Geo: External database guide is not correct

We have a document that describes how to setup GitLab Geo with an external database https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/geo/replication/external_database.html and it's not correct as it misses a bunch of steps from https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/geo/replication/database.html

It's a pretty important issue as basically, you can't setup it without deep knowledge of Geo. Moreover, I believe having a database as a separate instance is a common case for huge enterprises that Geo is aiming to target.

UPDATE Also, this fragment of text is duplicated:

To set up an external replica database, you can either:

Set up streaming replication yourself (for example, in AWS RDS).
Perform the Omnibus configuration manually as follows.
