Merge branch 'consolidate_ssh_docs' into 'master'

Consolidate SSH docs

The two available SSH topics were quite short, so it made sense to combine them.

Includes fixes a few missing words, punctuation.

 You can find these within GitLab in the Services page under Project Settings if you are at least a master on the project.

+## SSH keys
+
+An SSH key allows you to establish a secure connection between your
+computer and GitLab.
+
+Before generating an SSH key, check if your system already has one by
+running `cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub`. If you see a long string starting with
+`ssh-rsa` or `ssh-dsa`, you can skip the ssh-keygen step.
+
+To generate a new SSH key, just open your terminal and use code below. The
+ssh-keygen command prompts you for a location and filename to store the key
+pair and for a password. When prompted for the location and filename, you
+can press enter to use the default.
+
+It is a best practice to use a password for an SSH key, but it is not
+required and you can skip creating a password by pressing enter. Note that
+the password you choose here can't be altered or retrieved.
+
+```bash
+ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "$your_email"
+```
+
+Use the code below to show your public key.
+
+```bash
+cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
+```
+
+Copy-paste the key to the 'My SSH Keys' section under the 'SSH' tab in your
+user profile. Please copy the complete key starting with `ssh-` and ending
+with your username and host.  
+
+Use code below to copy your public key to the clipboard. Depending on your
+OS you'll need to use a different command:
+
+**Windows:**
+```bash
+clip < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
+```
+
+**Mac:**

+## Deploy keys
+
+Deploy keys allow read-only access to multiple projects with a single SSH
+key.
+
+This is really useful for cloning repositories to your Continuous
+Integration (CI) server. By using deploy keys, you don't have to setup a
+dummy user account.
+
+If you are a project master or owner, you can add a deploy key in the
+project settings under the section 'Deploy Keys'. Press the 'New Deploy
+Key' button and upload a public SSH key. After this, the machine that uses
+the corresponding private key has read-only access to the project.
+
+You can't add the same deploy key twice with the 'New Deploy Key' option.
+If you want to add the same key to another project, please enable it in the
+list that says 'Deploy keys from projects available to you'. All the deploy
+keys of all the projects you have access to are available. This project
+access can happen through being a direct member of the projecti, or through
+a group. See `def accessible_deploy_keys` in `app/models/user.rb` for more

 If possible these bug fixes are first merged into master and then cherry-picked into the release branch.
 This way you can't forget to cherry-pick them into master and encounter the same bug on subsequent releases.
