Clarify that discovery ignores master-ineligibles (#44835)

The changes in #32006 mean that the discovery process can no longer use
master-ineligible nodes as a stepping-stone between master-eligible nodes.
This was normally an indication of a strange and possibly-fragile configuration
and was not recommended. This commit clarifies that only master-eligible nodes
are now involved with discovery.
