Adds docs note about using wildcard address for PG when setting up Geo

Catalin Irimie requested to merge cat-add-wildcard-note-to-geo-docs into master

What does this MR do?

If using 0.0.0.0 or * in the PostgreSQL listen_address, Rails and PG client libraries will attempt to use 127.0.0.1, this adds a note to include that in the md5_auth_cidr_addresses if that is the case.
