api.md: make it clearer where to get the tailnet name in API calls

We added the tailnet organization name to to the settings page with
tailscale/corp#6977, but the docs were not updated to reflect this.
We later also changed "tailnet name" to refer to the MagicDNS hostname
(tailscale/corp#7537), which further confuses things (see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74132318).

Make it slightly clearer what is the expected value for tailnet names in
API calls and how to get it.

A tailnet is the name of your Tailscale network.

When making API requests, your tailnet is identified by the organization name. You can find it on the [Settings page](https://login.tailscale.com/admin/settings) of the admin console.
For example, if `alice@example.com` belongs to the `example.com` tailnet, they would use the following format for API calls:
