Description

It would be nice if at start, when checking for our ssl certs and key, to ensure we tell the user if there is a problem (of course, only when they have GITLAB_HTTPS enabled) with those files either not existing, having wrong permissions, or whatever other reason might exist for us to not be able to properly apply the ssl enabled nginx configuration.

Research direction

Start at the startup check for SSL certificates and keys when GITLAB_HTTPS is enabled, then trace how the nginx configuration is selected. Done means the startup output identifies missing, inaccessible, or otherwise unusable SSL files and makes clear when the default nginx configuration is being used.
