docs: Miscellaneous docs cleanup (#6742)
Fix spelling errors, API doc inconsistencies, and formatting issues.

* Fix several spelling errors.
* Prepend / to v1/event/list path in Watches.
* Rename script handlers to match Watch type.
* Remove /v1 path prefix on service health API endpoints.

Makes request path consistent with the rest of the HTTP API
documentation which does not include the /v1 prefix.

* Fix bracket formatting issue on Telemetry page.

The HTML codes used for brackets inside of the code block are not
interpolated, and are shown as literal strings.

Replace the numeric HTML codes with the intended character value to
fix display formatting.

Also placed variable reference on agent/options.html inside code block
for consistency with the presentation of other options on the page.

* Add missing word to Coordinate.Node docstring.

Consul CircleCI Discuss

Consul is a tool for service discovery and configuration. Consul is distributed, highly available, and extremely scalable.

Consul provides several key features:

  • Service Discovery - Consul makes it simple for services to register themselves and to discover other services via a DNS or HTTP interface. External services such as SaaS providers can be registered as well.

  • Health Checking - Health Checking enables Consul to quickly alert operators about any issues in a cluster. The integration with service discovery prevents routing traffic to unhealthy hosts and enables service level circuit breakers.

  • Key/Value Storage - A flexible key/value store enables storing dynamic configuration, feature flagging, coordination, leader election and more. The simple HTTP API makes it easy to use anywhere.

  • Multi-Datacenter - Consul is built to be datacenter aware, and can support any number of regions without complex configuration.

  • Service Segmentation - Consul Connect enables secure service-to-service communication with automatic TLS encryption and identity-based authorization.

Consul runs on Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, Solaris, and Windows. A commercial version called Consul Enterprise is also available.

Please note: We take Consul's security and our users' trust very seriously. If you believe you have found a security issue in Consul, please responsibly disclose by contacting us at security@hashicorp.com.
