Empty repository project page - simplify command line instructions

We started the work on improvements to the project page when the repository is empty in gitlab-ce#52420. We will continue it in this issue by streamlining the command line instructions we provide.

Current command line instructions

Here are some ideas for improvement:

  • Remove the git global configuration instructions. This is not project-specific and users will likely have set this up beforehand. If anything, we should link to our docs.
  • Simplify the instructions. For example, Create a new repository has commands for creating a README file, which is not necessary.
  • Display the clone URL in plain view.
  • Consider removing Push an existing folder option altogether.
