Update docs and sample config for the relay_api (#3011)

This adds an empty `relay_api` section to the sample configuration. For
SQLite environments, or others where a `database.connection_string` is
needed for each section, there should be an entry in the configuration
sample as a basis.

This PR also changes the "Configuring Dendrite" documentation in that
respect.

The requirement was introduced in #2917. When upgrading dendrite, it
will complain about `relay_api.database.connection_string` not being
configured.

A YAML configuration file is used to configure Dendrite. A sample configuration file is
present in the top level of the Dendrite repository:
* [`dendrite-sample.monolith.yaml`](https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite/blob/main/dendrite-sample.monolith.yaml)
* [`dendrite-sample.yaml`](https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite/blob/main/dendrite-sample.yaml)
You will need to duplicate the sample, calling it `dendrite.yaml` for example, and then
tailor it to your installation. At a minimum, you will need to populate the following
