Adds support for snapshots and restores. (#2396) * Updates Raft library to get new snapshot/restore API. * Basic backup and restore working, but need some cleanup. * Breaks out a snapshot module and adds a SHA256 integrity check. * Adds snapshot ACL and fills in some missing comments. * Require a consistent read for snapshots. * Make sure snapshot works if ACLs aren't enabled. * Adds a bit of package documentation. * Returns an empty response from restore to avoid EOF errors. * Adds API client support for snapshots. * Makes internal file names match on-disk file snapshots. * Adds DC and token coverage for snapshot API test. * Adds missing documentation. * Adds a unit test for the snapshot client endpoint. * Moves the connection pool out of the client for easier testing. * Fixes an incidental issue in the prepared query unit test. I realized I had two servers in bootstrap mode so this wasn't a good setup. * Adds a half close to the TCP stream and fixes panic on error. * Adds client and endpoint tests for snapshots. * Moves the pool back into the snapshot RPC client. * Adds a TLS test and fixes half-closes for TLS connections. * Tweaks some comments. * Adds a low-level snapshot test. This is independent of Consul so we can pull this out into a library later if we want to. * Cleans up snapshot and archive and completes archive tests. * Sends a clear error for snapshot operations in dev mode. Snapshots require the Raft snapshots to be readable, which isn't supported in dev mode. Send a clear error instead of a deep-down Raft one. * Adds docs for the snapshot endpoint. * Adds a stale mode and index feedback for snapshot saves. This gives folks a way to extract data even if the cluster has no leader. * Changes the internal format of a snapshot from zip to tgz. * Pulls in Raft fix to cancel inflight before a restore. * Pulls in new Raft restore interface. * Adds metadata to snapshot saves and a verify function. * Adds basic save and restore snapshot CLI commands. * Gets rid of tarball extensions and adds restore message. * Fixes an incidental bad link in the KV docs. * Adds documentation for the snapshot CLI commands. * Scuttle any request body when a snapshot is saved. * Fixes archive unit test error message check. * Allows for nil output writers in snapshot RPC handlers. * Renames hash list Decode to DecodeAndVerify. * Closes the client connection for snapshot ops. * Lowers timeout for restore ops. * Updates Raft vendor to get new Restore signature and integrates with Consul. * Bounces the leader's internal state when we do a restore.

# Consul Snapshot Save
Command: `consul snapshot save`
The `snapshot save` command is used to retrieve an atomic, point-in-time snapshot
of the state of the Consul servers which includes key/value entries,
service catalog, prepared queries, sessions, and ACLs. The snapshot is saved to
the given file.
If ACLs are enabled, a management token must be supplied in order to perform

## Examples
To create a snapshot from the leader server and save it to "backup.snap":
```text
$ consul snapshot save backup.snap
Saved and verified snapshot to index 8419
```
By default, snapshots are taken using a consistent mode that forwards requests
to the leader and the leader verifies it is still in power before taking the
snapshot.
After the snapshot is written to the given file it is read back and verified for
integrity.
To create a potentially stale snapshot from any available server, use the stale

```
This is useful for situations where a cluster is in a degraded state and no
leader is available. To target a specific server for a snapshot, you can run
the `consul snapshot save` command on that specific server.
