    Docs: add wake-on-LAN as a use case for pre-connect commands.
    
    Ian suggested this to me the other day, and it seems worth adding to
    the docs. In fact it might actually be a _better_ use case than port
    knocking, so I've listed it first, relegating port knocking to second
    place.
    
    (Since a wake-up script would need to wait until the target server is
    sufficiently booted up to be listening for SSH, this use case benefits
    particularly from my rework to run the hook command asynchronously.)
