IngressClass
Cluster-wide `IngressClass` should be created prior to Operator setup, as OLM does not currently support this object type:
```yaml
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: IngressClass
metadata:
# Ensure this value matches `spec.chart.values.global.ingress.class`
# in the GitLab CR on the next step.
name: gitlab-nginx
spec:
controller: k8s.io/ingress-nginx
```
