Description
### Type of issue
Typo
### Description
In the description of `NO_PROXY`:
> Asterisks are not supported for wildcards; use a leading dot in case you want to match a subdomain. Examples: NO_PROXY=.example.com (with leading dot) will match www.example.com, but will not match example.com.
it is unclear whether `NO_PROXY=.example.com` will match multi-level subdomains e.g. `a.b.example.com` or only one subdomain, like the existing `www.example.com`.
Per https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/blob/d099f075e45d2aa6007a22b71b45a08758559f80/src/libraries/System.Net.Http/src/System/Net/Http/SocketsHttpHandler/HttpEnvironmentProxy.cs#L245, it appears that it _will_ match `a.b.example.com`.
Suggest additional clarification in the docs.
