b-nagaj 540072fa39 FIX: DB Prep Docs - Step #1 (#173)
## Description

Fix step 1 of the [Database Preparation](https://docs.gitea.com/installation/database-prep) docs.

## Changes

When a user modifies the */etc/mysql/my.cnf* config file as instructed in step 1 of the database preparation guide, they get an error message from MySQL when trying to log in as the root user after saving changes.

```shell
mysql: [ERROR] Found option without preceding group in config file /etc/mysql/my.cnf at line 37.
mysql: [ERROR] Fatal error in defaults handling. Program aborted!
```
The solution is to include precede `bind-address` with a group like this.

```ini
[mysqld]
bind-address = 203.0.113.3
```
