Description

@lmktfy

Although we cannot accept #51374 for copyright and licence reasons, it makes a good point about https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/liveness-readiness-startup-probes/

A casual reading of the description of readiness probe description suggests it is specific to startup. There is one sentence at the end of the section saying otherwise but that's easy to overlook.

This change makes it clearer that readiness probes may also be appropriate to let the container recover from a fault or overload long after it started.

We should fix that.
