Document HTTP request snippet’s special treatment of the Host header
For an HTTP 1.1 request to be valid it must contain a Host header. To ensure that the HTTP request snippet is a valid HTTP 1.1 request a Host header will always be included. If one is not present in the request that’s being documented, the snippet will generate one automatically. A side-effect of this is that a preprocessor that removes the Host header will have no effect on the HTTP request snippet. This commit updates the documentation to describe this behaviour. Closes gh-134
