Research direction

Locate the documentation section for --proxy-domain and review the referenced issue comment for the intended wording. Update it to explain {{port}} and {{host}}, including that code-server prepends {{port}} when it is omitted. Done means the documented examples and behavior match the comment.

Description

docs

Yeah we should update that section to say you can use {{port}}
and {{host}}. If you do not include {{port}} then code-server
prepends it for you. So --domain-proxy example.com will become
{{port}}.example.com.
