Update creating-certificates.html.md (#4780)
In case `verify_server_hostname` is set in the configuration, Consul checks the certificate against  `server.<datacenter>.<domain>`.

The name suggested by the guide generates errors like the following:
```
2018/10/10 12:42:20 [ERR] consul: Failed to confirm peer status for consul-3: rpc error getting client: failed to get conn: x509: certificate is valid for server.node.consul.labs, localhost, not server.consul.labs. Retrying in 16s...
```

Removing the `node` part from the certificate permits them to work also when that option is set.

Pierre Souchay 251156eb68 Added SOA configuration for DNS settings. (#4714)
This will allow to fine TUNE SOA settings sent by Consul in DNS responses,
for instance to be able to control negative ttl.

Will fix: https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/issues/4713

# Example

Override all settings:

* min_ttl: 0 => 60s
* retry: 600 (10m) => 300s (5 minutes),
* expire: 86400 (24h) => 43200 (12h)
* refresh: 3600 (1h) => 1800 (30 minutes)

```
consul agent -dev -hcl 'dns_config={soa={min_ttl=60,retry=300,expire=43200,refresh=1800}}'
```

Result:
```
dig +multiline @localhost -p 8600 service.consul

; <<>> DiG 9.12.1 <<>> +multiline @localhost -p 8600 service.consul

Ensure that errors setting up the DNS servers get propagated back to the shell (#4598)
Fixes: #4578 

Prior to this fix if there was an error binding to ports for the DNS servers the error would be swallowed by the gated log writer and never output. This fix propagates the DNS server errors back to the shell with a multierror.

By default, the Consul agent listens on the local interface
at port 8500 for API requests. This change makes the API examples
