This PR enables cheshire-cat-core to connect with services running on the host machine across different operating systems.
This follows our conversation on Discord about difficulties encountered by some users when attempting to use cheshire-cat-core with an ollama instance on the host.
Adding extra_hosts filed and mapping host.docker.internal:host-gateway in the Docker compose.yml file, permits cheshire-cat-core to connect with any desired service running on the host machine regardless of the OS.
This is particularly useful for Docker Linux users to match the seamless connectivity provided by Docker Desktop on Windows and macOS.
