docker.md: add 'Connecting to local LLMs on the host' section with hostname table (Docker/Podman/Lima) and config example. local-llm-on-mac.md: update Timeouts auto-detection description to mention container-to-host DNS names (host.docker.internal, etc.). Documents behavior added in NousResearch#7950 (is_local_endpoint Docker DNS). Fixes NousResearch#7963

Summary
Documents behavior added in #7950 (
is_local_endpointDocker/Podman/Lima DNS support) that was missing from user-facing docs.docker.md — new section "Connecting to local LLMs on the host":
--network=hosthermes modelwithhost.docker.internalURL)local-llm-on-mac.md — updated Timeouts auto-detection description to mention container-to-host DNS names (
host.docker.internal,host.containers.internal,host.lima.internal).Fixes #7963
Why
Users running Hermes inside Docker with a local LLM on the host (Ollama, llama.cpp, omlx, vLLM) have no docs guidance on which hostname to use or that auto-detection works.
localhostfrom inside Docker points to the container, not the host — this is a common gotcha that the new section addresses directly.
