This is a clarification update that hopefully saves some time for new install troubleshooting.

Kibana makes a request to _all/_mapping in search of indexes, but will get back a 404 if the user has not added any elasticsearch indexes yet -- even though both elasticsearch and kibana are working perfectly fine.

This results in an ambiguous error message about a potential proxy issue.

Elasticsearch will throw a 404 if there is no indexes added yet, resulting in
this unclear message -- even for people that are not using any sort of proxy.

This message update should make it easier to quickly troubleshoot why the
the dialogue is popping up.
