Edits to templates/404.md

Browse source 
Added bit about how the 404.html page has to be set to load automatically - auto on Github but needs config on other web servers.

Also tweaked the text a little to emphasize it's a node type, and explain a little more about where the 404 template should be saved.

### Automatic Loading
Your 404.html file can be set to load automatically when a visitor enters a mistaken URL path, dependent upon the web serving environment you are using. For example:
* _Github Pages_ - it's automatic.
* _Apache_ - one way is to specify `ErrorDocument 404 /404.html` in an `.htaccess` file in the root of your site.
* _Nginx_ - you might specify `error_page 404 = /404.html;` in your `nginx.conf` file.
* _Amazon AWS S3_ - when setting a bucket up for static web serving, you can specify the error file.
