Improvement for k8s.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/

[alternaivan]

Hello,

I've been testing the type: ExternalName service and I found something that could be helpful if it's added to that part.

The documentation could contain a note somewhat similar to the below one:

If the external service has a valid domain name and you don’t need port remapping, then using the “ExternalName” service type is an easy and quick way to map the external service to an internal one. If you don’t have a domain name or need to do port remapping, simply add the IP addresses to an EndpointSlice and use that instead.

You can find the reference to the above under this link under Conclusion.

Thank you in advance!
Marjan

@alternaivan Proposed fix: To add a "NOTE" section under type: ExternalName and add the documentation suggested above to it.
