Add note to reverse_proxy.md about disabling Apache's mod_security2 (#8375)
This change adds a note and a few lines of configuration settings for Apache users to disable ModSecurity for Synapse's virtual hosts. With ModSecurity enabled and running with its default settings, Matrix clients are unable to send chat messages through the Synapse installation. With this change, ModSecurity can be disabled only for the Synapse virtual hosts.
