While installing a CouchDB cluster I was struggeling over some points. With
this PR I am hoping to emphasize what configurational steps are actually
required required but where hidden in either the Firewall or Configuration
Wizard section.
1. Within the part that describes the firewall requirements there was also
quite a lot of information that describes *things* regarding Erlang. Therefore
I created a subsection regardins all the Erlang *things*
2. Some parts are about testing the communication in/with Erlang, other parts
are about actually configurating settings in`vm.args`. In the chapter about
using the cluster wizard there was information about the ip|fqdn settings. I
think that those settings are always required to be changed for all cluster
installation.
3. The configuration curl calls for passwod and bind_address is using
`couchdb@<this-nodes-ip-address>`. Previously IP or FQDN was allows in the
vm.args file. I think that those 2 parts belong together so I made them
consistent.
