doc: add note about using cluster without networking
Although the primary use-case for the cluster module is networking, the
module provides a generic master/worker interface that could also be
used if you dont use networking at all. Currently the docs are a bit
ambiguous about this as only the primary use-case is ever mentioned,
this remark should clarify that the cluster module can also be used
without disadvantages if you dont use networking.
