The recommendation was already there, it was not changed by the patch.
And it definitely should not be there, it is an error message, not a
novel. Furthermore, even the actual error message, "IPFS does not appear
to be running", is just wrong.

The error message should be something like "IPFS gateway not
configured." and the rest in the documentation, starting with which
configuration files and environment variables it uses, and including
warnings about security and privacy concerns.
