doc: update add repo from local disk instructions

Warren Gifford requested to merge core/add-local-disk into master

Created by: keegancsmith

Note how different the instructions are here. We require the user to configure the code host first, then shutdown Sourcegraph. This is to prevent a background Sourcegraph job removing the clone. If the code cost config doesn't exist a background job could delete the repo thinking it shouldn't be there. If you keep Sourcegraph running we may delete the repo since it will appear corrupt while cloning.

We may want to invest in improving this experience. For example we could add support for a "staging" area on gitserver. This can be consulted for clones.

Fixes https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/issues/8412
