Document approach to IPv6 through server_host (#4561)

Simplest way to listen to IPv6 is use the `server_host` directive in the http component. That was undocumented (and may be considered a workaround) but works as expected and requires no changes on the codebase. It is worth documenting that here IMHO.

Configuration variables:
- **api_password** (*Optional*): Protect Home Assistant with a password.
- **server_host** (*Optional*): Only listen to incoming requests on specific IP/host (default: accept all)
- **server_host** (*Optional*): Only listen to incoming requests on specific IP/host (default: bind to `0.0.0.0` which means accept all IPv4 connections). Use `server_host: "::0"` if you want to listen to (and only) IPv6.
- **server_port** (*Optional*): Let you set a port to use. Defaults to 8123.
- **base_url** (*Optional*): The URL that Home Assistant is available on the internet. For example: `hass-example.duckdns.org:8123`. Defaults to the local IP address. The iOS app finds local installations, if you have an outside URL use this so that you can auto-fill when discovered in the app.
- **ssl_certificate** (*Optional*): Path to your TLS/SSL certificate to serve Home Assistant over a secure connection.
