website: example of "terraform taint" with a grandchild module 

I've seen folks ask about how to express this in resource address syntax
a number of times now, so adding this example here to illustrate how it
looks when there are multiple levels of module to traverse through.

This is redundant with other information further up the page, but having
it as an entirely separate example gives an opportunity to include more
introductory text to explain what the example is showing.

```
Although we recommend that most configurations use only one level of nesting
and employ [module composition](/docs/modules/composition.html), it's possible
to have multiple levels of nested modules. In that case the resource instance
address must include all of the steps to the target instance, as in the
following example:
```
$ terraform taint "module.child.module.grandchild.aws_instance.example[2]"
Resource instance module.child.module.grandchild.aws_instance.example[2] has been marked as tainted.
