Issue: rancher/rancher#50041

Description

The current documentation doesn't state the expected format of the NO_PROXY environment variable. While there are several examples which follow the same format, NO_PROXY is not a standardized environment variable and users may be under the impression that various value formats will work, which is not the case.

For instance, other SUSE documentation states that white space can be used as a delimiter. However doing this in Rancher will result in subtle issues that are difficult to debug.

This PR adds a clear explanation of the format of NO_PROXY which is accepted by Rancher (and actively tested) to several sections of the documentation that already mention NO_PROXY. The explanation includes a link to the official Golang docs which has a full description of the accepted format.

Comments

Let me know if I should remove the link to the upstream Go documentation in favor of an additional page in the docs repo or some other approach. I'm not 100% clear on this repo's policy on linking to external resources / documentation.

Thanks for the PR.

I think the upstream link should be totally fine in this repo. Not sure about product docs, @btat do we have a more strict policy there?
