Attempt to clarify limitations of how URI Fragments are not applied at the host level but at the path level and are not recursively applied to any sub-path.
When attempting to generate valid npmrc configuration files by using //host.name/:_auth=$token to cover any registry available at that host, I could not get npm to use those credentials.
I figured out the hard way that npm would only use the credentials if I specified the entire path up to the registry name i.e. //host.name/artifactory/api/npm/:auth=$token.
I felt the docs could be clarified to help other users realise the same.
Note: This PR replaces #8095 since I messed up the git commits and were unable to clean it up.
