kubeadm: update HA etcd guide for clarity and fix an issue

There were a couple of reported problems with this guide:

- The introductory paragraph talks about single control plane nodes
and does not mention the different options for HA etcd. Clear the
language to reduce the confusion and cross-link to the ha-topology
page.
- The hostname / IP detection in kubeadm can end
up with values not suitable for the certificates that kubeadm
generates for all etcd instances. Ensure that the hostnames / IPs
are pinned by the user in the example script.

Side cleanup related to the dockershim removal:
- Use containerd in the setup example and don't mention docker as
a requirement.

Kubeadm defaults to running a single member etcd cluster in a static pod managed
by the kubelet on the control plane node. This is not a high availability setup
as the etcd cluster contains only one member and cannot sustain any members
becoming unavailable. This task walks through the process of creating a high
availability etcd cluster of three members that can be used as an external etcd
when using kubeadm to set up a kubernetes cluster.
By default, kubeadm runs a local etcd instance on each control plane node.
It is also possible to treat the etcd cluster as external and provision
etcd instances on separate hosts. The differences between the two approaches are covered in the
[Options for Highly Available topology][/docs/setup/production-environment/tools/kubeadm/ha-topology] page.
This task walks through the process of creating a high availability external
etcd cluster of three members that can be used by kubeadm during cluster creation.

The examples below use IPv4 addresses but you can also configure kubeadm, the kubelet and etcd
to use IPv6 addresses. Dual-stack is supported by some Kubernetes options, but not by etcd. For more details
on Kubernetes dual-stack support see [Dual-stack support with kubeadm](/docs/setup/production-environment/tools/kubeadm/dual-stack-support/).
