Clarify network interface setting (#66013)

Browse Source 
Today we document the use of `_[networkInterface]_` to specify the
addresses of a network interface but do not spell out which parts of
this syntax should be taken literally and which are part of the
placeholder for the interface name.

This commit clarifies the docs.

NB this is a backport of just the docs changes from #66013.

Closes #65978.
