Add text listing Consul's L7 features (via Envoy). Re-organize text to
flow similarly to Istio section.

Fixes#2742
Previously the docs didn't clarify that if a server restarts as a client then force-leave won't lead to removing the node from the raft config. This is because the node, which is alive after a restart, will refute messages about it having left . These messages about members leaving are in turn what trigger Consul's leader to remove a server from raft.
Fixes: #5396
This PR adds a proxy configuration stanza called expose. These flags register
listeners in Connect sidecar proxies to allow requests to specific HTTP paths from outside of the node. This allows services to protect themselves by only
listening on the loopback interface, while still accepting traffic from non
Connect-enabled services.
Under expose there is a boolean checks flag that would automatically expose all
registered HTTP and gRPC check paths.
This stanza also accepts a paths list to expose individual paths. The primary
use case for this functionality would be to expose paths for third parties like
Prometheus or the kubelet.
Listeners for requests to exposed paths are be configured dynamically at run
time. Any time a proxy, or check can be registered, a listener can also be
created.
In this initial implementation requests to these paths are not
authenticated/encrypted.
The fields in the certs are meant to hold the original binary
representation of this data, not some ascii-encoded version.
The only time we should be colon-hex-encoding fields is for display
purposes or marshaling through non-TLS mediums (like RPC).
- fix instructions for CoreDNS (it updated)
- fix instructions for new component names
- recommend installing with the name 'consul'
- add disclaimer that catalog sync is not always required
- clean up example values.yaml files
- 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.

* website: update the vs. envoy and proxies page
This is the second result on Google for "consul envoy" and
it seemed like it needed a bit of an upgrade to help clarify the
current state.

Add parameter local-only to operator keyring list requests to force queries to only hit local servers (no WAN traffic).
HTTP API: GET /operator/keyring?local-only=true
CLI: consul keyring -list --local-only
Sending the local-only flag with any non-GET/list request will result in an error.
