documentation: add tail_proxy_url option to query_frontend_config sec…

…tion (#2879)

* add tail_proxy_url option to the query_frontend_config section of configuration doc

* If queryFrontend run in tail proxy mode, append the Host of the tail_proxy_url to the request header, because in some scenario queryFrontend forward tail to the queriers deployed behind nginx and "Host" is required.
