Highlighting the hosting of files (#5015)

Browse Source 
The use of `www/` is hidden in the middle of the page, it's impossible to direct people to it, and trivial to overlook. It's also wrong for Hass.io ;)

Updating to make it possible to link to it, and adding details on where to find it on Hass.io.

Also adding a note about needing to restart after creating the folder (there's been lots and lots of feedback about needing to do so)

## {% linkable_title Hosting files %}
If you want to use Home Assistant to host or serve static files then create a directory called `www` under the configuration path (`/config` on Hass.io, `.homeassistant` elswhere). The static files in `www/` can be accessed by the following URL `http://your.domain:8123/local/`, for example `audio.mp3` would be accessed as `http://your.domain:8123/local/audio.mp3`.
<p class='note'>
If you've had to create the `www/` folder for the first time, you'll need to restart Home Assistant.
