Description

### Description

I've spent a lot of time to understand that to make it work with ports I need to run:

```
colima start --network-address # to enable ports visibility
colima list # to see the vm host ip
```

I understand that it's partially my fault. But there's also a capacity to make a tool more intuitive and save lots of time as humanity has other things to do right now.

I suggest we make it to display huge red banner saying something like that

```
.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------.
| Please be aware that you'll need to access this IP _________, not locahost! |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
```

And if it's not being run with --network-address, I suggest displaying:
```
.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.
| Attention! Ports are not visible from your PC!. Use "colima start --network-address" to enable. |
'-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------'
```
