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

- **ns:**_path_: path to a network namespace to join;
- **private**: create a new namespace for the container (default)
- **slirp4netns[:OPTIONS,...]**: use **slirp4netns**(1) to create a user network stack. This is the default for rootless containers. It is possible to specify these additional options:
- **allow_host_loopback=true|false**: Allow the slirp4netns to reach the host loopback IP (`10.0.2.2`). Default is false.
- **allow_host_loopback=true|false**: Allow the slirp4netns to reach the host loopback IP (`10.0.2.2`, which is added to `/etc/hosts` as `host.containers.internal` for your convenience). Default is false.
