docs: document behaviour of tls.https.verify_outgoing (#20555)

* docs: document behaviour of tls.https.verify_outgoing

At first it's not clear what verify_outgoing would do for the https
listener as it seems like Consul agent's don't make https requests. Upon
further investigation, it's clear that Consul agents do make https
requests in the following scenarios:
- to implement watches
- to perform checks

In the first scenario, this setting is used here:
a1c8d4dd19/agent/config/runtime.go (L1725)

In the second scenario, it's actually the internal_rpc setting that is
used:
a1c8d4dd19/tlsutil/config.go (L903)

the gRPC interface you must define a port via [`ports.grpc_tls`](#grpc_tls_port).
