Document advising against publicly exposing the Admin API and provide a usage example (#13231)
* Admin API request explanation improved

Pointed out, that the Admin API is not accessible by default from any remote computer, but only from the PC `matrix-synapse` is running on.
Added a full, working example, making sure to include the cURL flag `-X`, which needs to be prepended to `GET`, `POST`, `PUT` etc. and listing the full query string including protocol, IP address and port.

* Admin API request explanation improved

* Apply suggestions from code review

Update changelog. Reword prose.

Add an admin API to run background jobs. (#11352)
Instead of having admins poke into the database directly.

Can currently run jobs to populate stats and to populate
the user directory.
