Use standard format for reload settings API (#51560) (#51828)

* Use standard format for reload settings API

The reload-secure-settings API page was not reorganized for the standard
API format, so this commit is reorganizing the page and adding some
links to the page in related documentation.

* Fix broken links

* Reorder examples to correctly check API response

* Note that only certain settings are reloadable

* [DOCS] Edits layout

* [DOCS] Removes unnecessary callouts

+<<secure-settings,Secure settings>> are stored in an on-disk keystore. Certain
+of these settings are <<reloadable-secure-settings,reloadable>>. That is, you
+can change them on disk and reload them without restarting any nodes in the
+cluster. When you have updated reloadable secure settings in your keystore, you
+can use this API to reload those settings on each node.
+
+When the {es} keystore is password protected and not simply obfuscated, you must
+provide the password for the keystore when you reload the secure settings.
+Reloading the settings for the whole cluster assumes that all nodes' keystores
+are protected with the same password; this method is allowed only when
+<<tls-transport,inter-node communications are encrypted>>. Alternatively, you can
+reload the secure settings on each node by locally accessing the API and passing
+the node-specific {es} keystore password.
