For initial cluster peering TProxy support we consider all imported services of a partition to be potential upstreams.
We leverage the VirtualIP table because it stores plain service names (e.g. "api", not "api-sidecar-proxy").
We have many indexer functions in Consul which take interface{} and type assert before building the index. We can use generics to get rid of the initial plumbing and pass around functions with better defined signatures. This has two benefits: 1) Less verbosity; 2) Developers can parse the argument types to memdb schemas without having to introspect the function for the type assertion.
This table purposefully does not index by partition/namespace. It's a
global view into all service names.
This table is intended to replace the current serviceListTxn watch in
intentionTopologyTxn. For cross-partition transparent proxying we need
to be able to calculate upstreams from intentions in any partition. This
means that the existing serviceListTxn function is insufficient since
it's scoped to a partition.
Moving away from that function is also beneficial because it watches the
main "services" table, so watchers will wake up when any instance is
registered or deregistered.
As part of this change the indexer will now be case insensitive by using
the lower case value. This should be safe because previously we always
had lower case strings.
This change was made out of convenience. All the other indexers use
lowercase, so we can re-use the indexFromQuery function by using
lowercase here as well.
Prefix queries are generally being used to match part of a partial
index. We can support these indexes by using a function that accept
different types for each subset of the index.
What I found interesting is that in the generic StringFieldIndexer the
implementation for PrefixFromArgs would remove the trailing null, but
at least in these 2 cases we actually want a null terminated string.
We simply want fewer components in the string.
These new functional indexers provide a few advantages:
1. enterprise differences can be isolated to a single function (the
indexer function), making code easier to change
2. as a consequence of (1) we no longer need to wrap all the calls to
Txn operations, making code easier to read.
3. by removing reflection we should increase the performance of all
operations.
One important change is in making all the function signatures the same.

An extra boolean return value for SingleIndexer.FromObject is superfluous.
The error value can indicate when the index value could not be created.
By removing this extra return value we can use the same signature for both
indexer functions.
This has the nice properly of a function being usable for both indexing operations.
By using a new pattern for more specific indexes. This allows us to use
the same index for both service checks and node checks. It removes the
abstraction around memdb.Txn operations, and isolates all of the
enterprise differences in a single place (the indexer).
registerSchema creates some indirection which is not necessary in this
case. newDBSchema can call each of the tables.
Enterprise tables can be added from the existing withEnterpriseSchema
shim.
Using withEnterpriseSchema() we can apply any enterprise schema changes
with a single shim, removing the need to duplicate all of the table
definitions.
Also move all the catalog schemas to a new file to shrink catalog.go a bit.
