Fix in-cluster API discovery documentation (#36691)

* Fix in-cluster API discovery documentation

The documentation incorrectly describes the way that client libraries
discover the Kubernetes API server. While the `kubernetes.default.svc`
DNS is provided as a convenience, **all** of the officially supported API
clients use environment variables to discover the address of the API server.

This change updates the documentation to reflect this.

 ### Directly accessing the REST API
 
-While running in a Pod, the Kubernetes apiserver is accessible via a Service named
-`kubernetes` in the `default` namespace. Therefore, Pods can use the
-`kubernetes.default.svc` hostname to query the API server. Official client libraries
-do this automatically.
+While running in a Pod, your container can create an HTTPS URL for the Kubernetes API
+server by fetching the `KUBERNETES_SERVICE_HOST` and `KUBERNETES_SERVICE_PORT_HTTPS`
+environment variables. The API server's in-cluster address is also published to a
+Service named `kubernetes` in the `default` namespace so that pods may reference
+`kubernetes.default.svc` as a DNS name for the local API server.

+{{< note >}}
+Kubernetes does not guarantee that the API server has a valid certificate for
+the hostname  `kubernetes.default.svc`;
+however, the control plane **is** expected to present a valid certificate for the
+hostname or IP address that `$KUBERNETES_SERVICE_HOST` represents.

 The recommended way to authenticate to the API server is with a
