Document that client affinity is required if a proxy/load balancer between the application and the mongos

      Description

      From the documentation "Sharded Cluster Components" up to version 3.2, we have mentioned that client affinity is required if load balancer is running between the application and the mongos:

      > You may also deploy a group of mongos instances and use a proxy/load balancer between the application and the mongos. In these deployments, you must configure the load balancer for client affinity so that every connection from a single client reaches the same mongos.

      However, this was no longer mentioned since the [v3.4 documentation](https://docs.mongodb.com/v3.4/core/sharded-cluster-components/#production-configuration). Since this is still a requirement, please add this to the documentation.
