Docs: Clarify DestinationRule spec.trafficPolicy.connectionPool.tcp.maxConnections #3509

Bug description

The documentation for the DestinationRule field spec.trafficPolicy.connectionPool.tcp.maxConnections states the following:

Maximum number of HTTP1 /TCP connections to a destination host. Default 2^32-1.

This is misleading for two reasons:

  1. It seems to imply that HTTP/2 connections are not subject to this limit, which per Envoy's docs doesn't seem to be the case
  2. This is much more of a nitpick, but per Envoy's docs it's technically possible to surpass this limit, so it may be worth adding a caveat about that.
