docs: document how envoy escape hatches work with the discovery chain (#6350)
- Bootstrap escape hatches are OK. - Public listener/cluster escape hatches are OK. - Upstream listener/cluster escape hatches are not supported. If an unsupported escape hatch is configured and the discovery chain is activated log a warning and act like it was not configured. Fixes #6160
