Remove indication of future multi-homing support (#32187)

We do not support intra-cluster connections on multiple interfaces, but the
documentation indicates that we will in future. In fact there is currently no
plan to support this, so the forward-looking documentation is misleading. This
commit

- removes the misleading sentence
- fixes that a transport profile affects outbound connections, not inbound ones
- tidies up some nearby text

The `default` profile is a special. It is used as fallback for any other profiles, if those do not have a specific configuration setting set.
Note that the default profile is how other nodes in the cluster will connect to this node usually. In the future this feature will allow to enable node-to-node communication via multiple interfaces.
