Exposing localhost

You currently recommend ngrok or inlets at https://status-checks.netlify.com/docs/getting-started/setup#exposing-localhost-for-github

We used ngrok in the past to expose localhost for Probot, but we had plenty of problems with it. Eventually the team created https://smee.io/ which works extremely well, and it’s fairly easy to integrate, check it out :)

The additional benefit is that folks can have the https://smee.io/random-id-here page open in their browser for debugging purposes

Start with the setup documentation at the linked “exposing localhost for GitHub” section and inspect how ngrok or inlets are currently recommended. Update the guidance to cover smee.io and its browser-based debugging benefit; done means the setup page accurately explains the new recommendation.
