Added clarification on client.yml configuration

I didn't understand why the `ntfy publish --debug topic message` command don't choose the default-host I entered in `/etc/ntfy/client.yml`.
If command is run as sudo -> config file = `/etc/ntfy/client.yml`
If command is run as non-sudo -> config file = `~/.config/ntfy/client.yml`
I think this is an important precision for users.
