Update documentation for Apple (#2117) 
* Rename docs/ios-client.md to docs/apple-client.md. Add instructions
  for macOS; those are copied from the /apple endpoint and slightly
  modified. Fix doc links in the README.
* Move infoboxes for /apple and /windows under the "Goal" section to the
  top. Those should be seen by users first as they contain *their*
  specific headscale URL.
* Swap order of macOS and iOS to move "Profiles" further down.
* Remove apple configuration profiles
* Remove Tailscale versions hints
* Mention /apple and /windows in the README along with their docs

Connecting an Apple client

Goal

This documentation has the goal of showing how a user can use the official iOS and macOS Tailscale clients with headscale.

!!! info "Instructions on your headscale instance"

An endpoint with information on how to connect your Apple device
is also available at `/apple` on your running instance.

iOS

Installation

Install the official Tailscale iOS client from the App Store.

Configuring the headscale URL

  • Open Tailscale and make sure you are not logged in to any account
  • Open Settings on the iOS device
  • Scroll down to the third party apps section, under Game Center or TV Provider
  • Find Tailscale and select it
    • If the iOS device was previously logged into Tailscale, switch the Reset Keychain toggle to on
  • Enter the URL of your headscale instance (e.g https://headscale.example.com) under Alternate Coordination Server URL
  • Restart the app by closing it from the iOS app switcher, open the app and select the regular sign in option (non-SSO). It should open up to the headscale authentication page.
  • Enter your credentials and log in. Headscale should now be working on your iOS device.
