Backport
This PR is auto-generated from #20555 to be assessed for backporting due to the inclusion of the label backport/1.12.
The below text is copied from the body of the original PR.
At first it's not clear what verify_outgoing would do for the https listener as it seems like Consul agent's don't make https requests. Upon further investigation, it's clear that Consul agents do make https requests in the following scenarios:
In the first scenario, this setting is used here:
consul/agent/config/runtime.go
Line 1725 in a1c8d4d
In the second scenario, it's actually the internal_rpc setting that is used:
consul/tlsutil/config.go
Line 903 in a1c8d4d
