* Give more detail and context on http_addr in grafana.ini

This particular configuration item is misleadingly named (it's about networking addresses rather than HTTP) and there are a bunch of ways users can misread, misconfigure, and create a situation where grafana won't start due to a bind error.

I'm trying to outline a couple of extra things about what this covers and provide good default advice, leaving room for specialists who know what they're doing to still use this, with more clarity.

* Update _index.md

* Apply suggestions from code review

### http_addr
The IP address to bind to. If empty will bind to all interfaces
The host for the server to listen on. If your machine has more than one network interface, you can use this setting to expose the Grafana service on only one network interface and not have it available on others, such as the loopback interface. An empty value is equivalent to setting the value to `0.0.0.0`, which means the Grafana service binds to all interfaces.
In environments where network address translation (NAT) is used, ensure you use the network interface address and not a final public address; otherwise, you might see errors such as `bind: cannot assign requested address` in the logs.
