docs: move CNI reference plugins installation to CNI overview page (#17068)

* docs: move CNI reference plugins installation to CNI overview page

This PR moves the instruction steps for install the CNI reference plugins
from the Consul Mesh integration page to the general Networking CNI page.

These plugins are required for bridge networking, not just Consul Mesh,
so it makes sense to have them on the general CNI page.

Closes #17038

* docs: fix a link to post install steps

Nomad uses CNI reference plugins to configure the network namespace used to secure the
Consul service mesh sidecar proxy. All Nomad client nodes using network namespaces
must have CNI plugins installed.
The following commands install CNI plugins:
```shell-session
curl -L -o cni-plugins.tgz "https://github.com/containernetworking/plugins/releases/download/v1.0.0/cni-plugins-linux-$( [ $(uname -m) = aarch64 ] && echo arm64 || echo amd64)"-v1.0.0.tgz
sudo mkdir -p /opt/cni/bin
sudo tar -C /opt/cni/bin -xzf cni-plugins.tgz
```
Ensure the your Linux operating system distribution has been configured to allow
container traffic through the bridge network to be routed via iptables. These
tunables can be set as follows:
```shell-session
echo 1 | sudo tee /proc/sys/net/bridge/bridge-nf-call-arptables
echo 1 | sudo tee /proc/sys/net/bridge/bridge-nf-call-ip6tables
echo 1 | sudo tee /proc/sys/net/bridge/bridge-nf-call-iptables
```
To preserve these settings on startup of a client node, add a file including the
following to `/etc/sysctl.d/` or remove the file your Linux distribution puts in
that directory.
```
net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-arptables = 1
net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-ip6tables = 1
net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables = 1
```
must have these CNI plugins [installed][cni_install].

## CNI reference plugins
The CNCF maintains a set of reference CNI plugins for basic network operations.
These plugins are required for Nomad's `bridge` networking mode and for integrating
with Consul service mesh.
