David Turner 9f470c20ed More improvements to cluster coordination docs (#42799)
This commit addresses a few more frequently-asked questions:

* clarifies that bootstrapping doesn't happen even after a full cluster
  restart.

* removes the example that uses IP addresses, to try and further encourage the
  use of node names for bootstrapping.

* clarifies that auto-bootstrapping might form different clusters on different
  hosts, and gives a process for starting again if this wasn't what you wanted.

* adds the "do not stop half-or-more of the master-eligible nodes" slogan that
  was notably absent.

* reformats one of the console examples to a narrower width

David Turner 99b5a27ea0 Node names in bootstrap config have no ports (#41569)
In cases where node names and transport addresses can be muddled, it is unclear
that `cluster.initial_master_nodes: master-a:9300` means to look for a node
called `master-a:9300` rather than a node called `master-a` with transport port
`9300`. This commit adds docs to that effect.

David Turner 5ef247dc91 Further clarify cluster.initial_master_nodes (#41179)
The following phrase causes confusion:

> Alternatively the IP addresses or hostnames (if node name defaults to the
> host name) can be used.

This change clarifies the conditions under which you can use a hostname, and
adds an anchor to the note introduced in (#41137) so we can link directly to it
in conversations with users.
