doc: Describe how to manually connect the MicroOVN northbound connect…

…ion to LXD When a user decides to deploy OVN through a MicroOVN deployment, it is not clearly explained how to connect LXD and MicroOVN. The only missing info was how to correctly setup the northbound connection: `lxc config set network.ovn.northbound_connection <ovn-northd-nb-db>` With `<ovn-northd-nb-db>` that MUST use the `ssl:<microovn_node_ip>:6641`. Passing a UNIX socket targeting `ovnnb_db.sock` inside the MicroOVN snap will produce certificate errors so we MUSN'T use the UNIX notation. Signed-off-by: Gabriel Mougard <[email protected]>

+   If you are using a MicroOVN deployment, you can pass the value of the MicroOVN node IP address you want target prefixed with `ssl:` and suffixed with the `:6641` port number that should target the OVN central service within MicroOVN.
