Add documentation that services running on the host can be connected to via the `host.crc.testing` hostname #4398

There's an undocumented feature that services running on the host machine can be connected to from within the VM/cluster via using the host.crc.testing hostname and port of the service (e.g. host.crc.testing:3306 for a MySQL server running on the host).

This feature should be mentioned in the documentation.

currently we are limited in what we can change to the documentation. perhaps best to add this to the wiki or FAQ

For consistency with podman, might be worth using/documenting host.containers.internal
