docs: Also set X-Forwarded-Proto in proxies.

Browse Source 
Django 4.0 and higher began checking the `Origin` header, which made
it important that Zulip know accurately if the request came over HTTPS
or HTTP; failure to do so would result in "CSRF verification failed"
errors.

For Zulip servers which are accessed via proxies, this means that
`X-Fowarded-Proto` must be set accurately.  Adjust the documentation
for the suggested configurations to add the header.

Fixes: #24599.

proxy server.
1. Configure your reverse proxy (or proxies) to correctly maintain the
`X-Forwarded-Proto` HTTP header, which is supposed to contain either `https`
or `http` depending on the connection between your browser and your
proxy. This will be used by Django to perform CSRF checks regardless of your
connection mechanism from your proxy to Zulip. Note that the proxies _must_
set the header, overriding any existing values, not add a new header.
1. Configure your proxy to pass along the `Host:` header as was sent
from the client, not the internal hostname as seen by the proxy.
If this is not possible, you can set `USE_X_FORWARDED_HOST = True`
