Hello!

I recently spent some time configuring my Caddy reverse proxy (which is external and not on my docker host as it is a VM, and Caddy runs as an LXC on a hypervisor) to pass through ACME challenges. From what I understand, this is not an uncommon setup, so I figured i would include the relevant lines in the documentation in case someone else wants to allow acme-mailcow to manage certs to mailcow (since you can't pull SSL certs across LXCs/VMs very easily).

I have tested this config and confirmed that Caddy is correctly passing through the challenges to mailcow-acme and it is able to solve them.

Adjusted the config after I saw some issues with my own setup.
