Subject: [PATCH] docs: update exec command with namespace

What
---
Update the exec command to specify the namespace to connect to toolbox

Why
---

Following the current instructions:
```sh
$ kubectl --namespace gitlab get pods -lapp=toolbox
NAME                                       READY   STATUS      RESTARTS   AGE
ops-gitlab-toolbox-6f7487f9d6-4tvjv        1/1     Running     0          2d7h
ops-gitlab-toolbox-backup-28363740-nvjc2   0/1     Completed   0          32h
ops-gitlab-toolbox-backup-28365180-t8gzr   0/1     Completed   0          8h
$ kubectl exec -it ops-gitlab-toolbox-6f7487f9d6-4tvjv -- bash
Error from server (NotFound): pods "ops-gitlab-toolbox-6f7487f9d6-4tvjv" not found
```

We need to specify `--namespace gitlab`

```sh
$ kubectl exec --namespace gitlab -it ops-gitlab-toolbox-6f7487f9d6-4tvjv -- bash
Defaulted container "toolbox" out of: toolbox, certificates (init), configure (init)
```
