Add note to collect CONSUL_SERVER_NODES in HA docs63588-follow-up-from-documentation-for-prometheus-service-discovery
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.
