docs: explain all placeholders in node exporter download URL

Browse Source 
Improves the download instructions by:
- Explaining the URL pattern with all placeholders clearly defined
- Listing what <VERSION>, <OS>, and <ARCH> mean with examples
- Using concrete example values (v1.10.2, linux-amd64) in commands
- Making it easier for new users to understand what to replace

Addresses review feedback on PR #2810.
