Clarify remote_cluster_client role (#70186)

This commit addresses two aspects of the description in the docs of
configuring a local node to be a remote cluster client. First, the
documentation was referring to the legacy setting for configuring a
remote cluster client. Secondly, we clarify that additional features,
not only cross-cluster search, have requirements around the usage of the
remote_cluster_client role.

* In the local cluster, all nodes with the `master` <<node-roles,node role>> must
also have the <<remote-node,`remote_cluster_client`>> role. The local cluster
must also have at least one node with both a data role and the

replication scale based on the number of data nodes with the
`remote_cluster_client` role in the local cluster.
