docs: consistently name Consul service mesh (#17222)
Remove outdated usage of "Consul Connect" instead of Consul service mesh.

The connect subsystem in Consul provides Consul's service mesh capabilities.
However, the term "Consul Connect" should not be used as an alternative to
the name "Consul service mesh".

# Consul Config Write
Command: `consul config write`
Corresponding HTTP API Endpoint: [\[PUT\] /v1/config](/consul/api-docs/config#apply-configuration)
The `config write` command creates or updates a centralized config entry.
See the [configuration entries docs](/consul/docs/agent/config-entries) for more
details about configuration entries.
The table below shows this command's [required ACLs](/consul/api-docs/api-structure#authentication). Configuration of
[blocking queries](/consul/api-docs/features/blocking) and [agent caching](/consul/api-docs/features/caching)
are not supported from commands, but may be from the corresponding HTTP endpoint.
| ACL Required<sup>1</sup> |
| ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `service:write`<br />`operator:write`<br />`intentions:write` |
<p>
<sup>1</sup> The actual ACL required depends on the config entry kind being
updated:
</p>
| Config Entry Kind | Required ACL |
| ------------------- | ------------------ |
| api-gateway | `mesh:write` |
| ingress-gateway | `operator:write` |
| proxy-defaults | `operator:write` |
| service-defaults | `service:write` |
| service-intentions | `intentions:write` |
| service-resolver | `service:write` |
| service-router | `service:write` |
| service-splitter | `service:write` |
| terminating-gateway | `operator:write` |
## Usage
Usage: `consul config write [options] FILE`
#### Command Options
- `-cas` - Specifies to use a Check-And-Set operation. If the index is
0, Consul will only store the entry if it does not already exist. If the index is
non-zero, the entry is only set if the current index matches the `ModifyIndex`
of that entry.
#### Enterprise Options
@include 'http_api_partition_options.mdx'
@include 'http_api_namespace_options.mdx'
#### API Options
@include 'http_api_options_client.mdx'
## Examples
From file:
$ consul config write web-defaults.json
From stdin:
$ consul config write -
### Config Entry examples
All config entries must have a `Kind` when registered. See
[Service Mesh - Config Entries](/consul/docs/connect/config-entries) for the list of
supported config entries.
#### Service defaults
Service defaults control default global values for a service in the service mesh.
For example, the following configuration defines that all instances of the `web`
service use the `http` protocol.
```json
{
"Kind": "service-defaults",
"Name": "web",
"Protocol": "http"
}
```
For more information, refer to the [service defaults configuration reference](/consul/docs/connect/config-entries/service-defaults).
#### Proxy defaults
Proxy defaults lets you configure global config defaults across all proxies
in the service mesh. Currently, it supports only one global entry.
For example, the following configuration overrides a default timeout for all
Envoy proxies.
```json
{
"Kind": "proxy-defaults",
"Name": "global",
"Config": {
"local_idle_timeout_ms": 20000
}
}
```
For more information, refer to the [proxy defaults configuration reference](/consul/docs/connect/config-entries/proxy-defaults).
