Mention new hostname for loopback IP
The hostname `host.containers.internal` is way easier to remember and should IMHO be preferred to be used, as it is:
a) easier to remember than some random IP
b) if the IP changes some time in the future the container will continue to work
And explain hostname adding in more detail
As per @mheon's suggestion.
And explain hostname adding *reason*
Also implies an suggestion for using the hostname instead.
And port change from podman-create man page to podman-run, too
