Description

![Screenshot from 2020-12-24 09-40-27](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/10190/103075533-143b2f00-45cc-11eb-9120-e317aa18a0f5.png)

### Description

1. I'm attempting to connect to a homeserver that is not matrix.org.
2. I open `https://app.element.io`.
3. I pick `edit`.
4. I now have a choice between:
- `matrix.org` (without scheme); or
- "Other homeserver"
5. If I enter `myhomeserver.example.com` (without scheme), connection will fail without explanation.

### Suggestion

- In field "Other homeserver", add a grayed out text `https://myhomeserver.example.com`.
