Add example of when to use each clone method (SSH vs HTTPS)

The clone section lists SSH and HTTPS options but doesn't explain when to choose one over the other.

Location https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/repository/

Current Text "Clone with SSH Clone with HTTPS"

Suggested Fix Add guidance: "- Use SSH if you've set up SSH keys (more secure, no password prompt)

  • Use HTTPS if you prefer using your username and password or personal access token (works behind firewalls that block SSH)"

Why This Helps Helps users choose the right method for their situation.
