Update k8s term gateway docs to make address clear (#10389)

Previously if you were to follow these docs and register two external
services, you would set the Address field on the node. The second
registered service would change the address of the node for the first
service.

Now the docs explain the address key and how to register more than one
external service.

### Register external services with Consul
-> **Note:** Normal Consul services are registered with the Consul client on the node that
they're running on. Since this is an external service, there is no Consul node
to register it onto. Instead, we will make up a node name and register the
service to that node.
Create a sample external service and register it with Consul.
```json
{
"Node": "legacy_node",
"Node": "example_com",
"Address": "example.com",
"NodeMeta": {
"external-node": "true",
"external-probe": "true"
},
"Service": {
"Address": "example.com",
"ID": "example-https",
"Service": "example-https",
"Port": 443

- `"Node": "example_com"` is our made up node name.
- `"Address": "example.com"` is the address of our node. Services registered to that node will use this address if
their own address isn't specified. If you're registering multiple external services, ensure you
use different node names with different addresses or set the `Service.Address` key.
- `"Service": { "Address": "example.com" ... }` is the address of our service. In this example this doesn't need to be set
since the address of the node is the same, but if there were two services registered to that same node
then this should be set.
