Carve off app information to new page

Continue splitting app-specific information out of the index page,
in prep for a larger rewrite. No changes other than fixing links and
header numbers.

# GitLab for Jira app **(FREE SAAS)**
You can integrate GitLab.com and Jira Cloud using the
[GitLab for Jira](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1221011/gitlab-com-for-jira-cloud)
app in the Atlassian Marketplace. The user configuring GitLab for Jira must have
[Maintainer](../../user/permissions.md) permissions in the GitLab namespace.
This method is recommended when using GitLab.com and Jira Cloud because data is synchronized in real-time. The DVCS connector updates data only once per hour. If you are not using both of these environments, use the [Jira DVCS Connector](dvcs.md) method.

NOTE:
The GitLab user only needs access when adding a new namespace. For syncing with
Jira, we do not depend on the user's token.
After a namespace is added:
- All future commits, branches, and merge requests of all projects under that namespace
are synced to Jira.
- From GitLab 13.8, past merge request data is synced to Jira.
Support for syncing past branch and commit data [is planned](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/263240).
For more information, see [Usage](index.md#usage).
## Troubleshooting GitLab for Jira
The GitLab for Jira App uses an iframe to add namespaces on the settings page. Some browsers block cross-site cookies. This can lead to a message saying that the user needs to log in on GitLab.com even though the user is already logged in.

In this case, use [Firefox](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/) or enable cross-site cookies in your browser.
