Suggestion for commenting the format of DB_HOST in wp-config-sample.php

[ralatalo]

in wp-config-sample.php the entry for DB_HOST is simply:

/ Database hostname */
define( ‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’ );

I would suggest adding something similar to the following comment:
/ the format for DB_HOST can also contain either a port or socket or both /
/ the format for both is: ‘{hostname}:{port}:/path/to/socket’ /

This could help save time for the next person, I hacked though the source code (not hard with php) to see how it was being processed since all I found were references on other sites that you could use port or socket (nothing else mentioned both)
