Remove outdated usage of "Consul Connect" instead of Consul service mesh.

The connect subsystem in Consul provides Consul's service mesh capabilities. However, the term "Consul Connect" should not be used as an alternative to the name "Consul service mesh".

This commit modifies CLI help text for commands and variables. It does not change any functionality.

This PR is a follow up for the docs changes made in #17222.

The docs explicitly state that this isn't meant to be a production sidecar proxy. So I've also added that to the help text.
