Documentation for network connectivity
Metadata
Current evaluation
Open documentation request to add network connectivity troubleshooting guides for LXD and Multipass. The how-to docs are empty; only a partial Docker/iptables note exists in explanation/.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: This is a valid, well-scoped documentation request opened by maintainer mr-cal. The how-to docs are empty (docs/how-to/index.rst has only a toctree placeholder), and only a partial Docker/iptables note exists in docs/explanation/index.rst. No commits have addressed this request, and no related issues were found.

Issue body
### What needs to get done
Write documentation to enable users to debug LXD and Multipass issues.
There are 2 common scenarios:
1. Can't launch a container or vm
* Document launching a LXD container or Multipass vm outside of the *craft app
2. Can't connect to the network
* Document launching a LXD container or Multipass vm, opening a shell, and checking for network connectivity
* Advise against the usual culprits: proxies, vpns, firewalls, and docker
### Why it needs to get done
Users often start by troubleshooting the *craft application itself and eventually figure out the problem is with LXD or Multipass. This chain of redirection and troubleshooting could be dramatically shortened with good documentation.
