Add performance warning for sourcegraph/server instances that have a lot of repositories

Created by: nicksnyder
We have had a few customers recently experience performance issues when adding thousands of repositories to a single node sourcegraph/server instance. There are separate efforts to improve this performance, but in the meantime we want to inform users that we recommend deploying with Kubernetes at larger scales to avoid these types of problems.
The proposed solution is a dismissable site alert that shows on sourcegraph/server instances when more than 100 repositories are enabled and point the user to our cluster deployment.
Questions for @sqs @dadlerj :
- What copy do you propose for this alert?
- What landing page do you want to direct users to (e.g. https://docs.sourcegraph.com/admin/install/cluster) to learn more about Kubernetes deployments?
