Minor documentation cleanup (#7826)

* clarify link

* Add section headers

* console blocks

* grpc example json was not valid

* multi-tls update text

The preceding point 1 related to 4f2cb51ef8/ingress/controllers/nginx/examples/ingress.yaml
and the deployments referenced in 4f2cb51ef8/ingress/controllers/nginx/examples/README.md

They are not relevant to the current instructions.

* add whitespace around parens

* grammar

setup would be a proper noun, but it is not the intended concept, which is a state

* grammar

* is-only
* via

* Use bullets for choices

* ingress-controller

nginx is a distinct brand.

generally this repo talks about ingress-controller, although it is quite inconsistent about how...

* drop stray paren

* OAuth is a brand and needs an article here

also GitHub is a brand

* Indent text under numbered lists

* use e.g.

* Document that customer header config maps changes do not trigger updates

This should be removed if
https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/issues/5238
is fixed.

* article

* period

* infinitive verb + period

* clarify that the gRPC server is responsible for listening for TCP traffic and not some other part of the backend application

* avoid using ; and reword

* whitespace

* brand: gRPC

* only-does is the right form

`for` adds nothing here

* spelling: GitHub

* punctuation

`;` is generally not the right punctuation...

* drop stray `to`

* sentence

* backticks

* fix link

* Improve readability of compare/vs

* Renumber list

* punctuation

* Favor Ingress-NGINX and Ingress NGINX

* Simplify custom header restart text

* Undo typo damage

# Client Certificate Authentication
It is possible to enable Client-Certificate Authentication by adding additional annotations to your Ingress Resource.
Before getting started you must have the following Certificates Setup:
1. CA certificate and Key(Intermediate Certs need to be in CA)
2. Server Certificate(Signed by CA) and Key (CN should be equal the hostname you will use)
3. Client Certificate(Signed by CA) and Key
