Description

Hi Guys,
This is informational, but upgrading to the latest from versions prior to 11.11.0 fail to update the db schema for postgres instances.
e.g.
"Your current database version is too old to be migrated. You should upgrade to GitLab 11.11.0 before moving to this version. Please see https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/policy/maintenance.html#upgrade-recommendations"
Thought it might be worth mentioning the dependency in your upgrade sections of the readme.

Review the README's upgrade sections and the linked GitLab maintenance guidance, focusing on PostgreSQL instances upgraded from versions before 11.11.0. Document the required intermediate upgrade in the relevant section, and confirm that the wording accurately explains the database schema migration limitation.
