Description

From a Slack conversation: https://hashicorp.slack.com/archives/C012RTGJR1V/p1753204358604259

A customer misunderstood the way the public_cluster_addr parameter worked with regard to load balancing. They thought the setting required the address of the controller node and not the cluster. Jeff Mitchell confirmed that the documentation was correct, but that we could better explain how load balancing worked.

This PR updates that parameter description to convey that workers must know the addresses of the controllers to perform load balancing and not just the address of the listener itself. It also provides an example of how someone might use this setting with a load balancer.
