Add note to collect CONSUL_SERVER_NODES in HA docs

There are several instances in our HA docs where an example of
`Y.Y.Y.Y consul1.gitlab.example.com Z.Z.Z.Z` is given,
but this value isn't explicitly stated. It should be
the IP addresses or DNS records of the Consul server nodes.

stable and is in use on GitLab.com. Scaled and highly available GitLab environments
