Chris Marchesi 1b4e26d005 command/agent: Google Compute Engine host discovery
This commit adds several command-line and config options that facilitate
host discovery through Google Compute Engine (GCE), much like the
recently added EC2 host discovery options. This should assist with
bootstrapping and joining servers within GCE when non-static addresses
are used, such as when using managed instance groups.

Documentation has also been added. It should be noted that if running
from within a GCE instance, the only option that should be necessary is
-retry-join-gce-tag-value.

Kyle Havlovitz 1ffdf04bd7 Set MaxStale default to 10 years and add a stale counter (#2481)
Default MaxStale to 10 years and add a counter at `consul.dns.stale_queries` that tracks when an agent serves a query that's stale by at least 5 seconds. Previously, MaxStale defaulted to 5 seconds and DNS would become unavailable after a short period of time with no leader. This new default allows DNS requests to still be served in the event of a long outage.

Fixes #2460.

Sean Kilgore a60c0b630a docs: clarify address specification for telemetry
Earlier on this page, under `addresses`, we say "For TCP addresses, these should simply be an IP address without the port. For example: 10.0.0.1, not 10.0.0.1:8500." Since we expect the port to be included for `_address` for telemetry, call it out specifically.

Miquel Sabaté Solà 314a0913e2 command: deprecated the -dc flag in the agent CLI
The `-dc` flag from the agent CLI command has been deprecated in favor of
`-datacenter`. This is done this way because:

- Other CLI commands used `-datacenter`. See: event, exec and watch.
- The agent configuration file uses `datacenter`.

Michael Crilly b90e77421a TLS example and correcting error
The example configuration file omits TLS support in the HTTP API. This is fine, but a second example demonstrating how to enable TLS over the HTTP API is harmless and, in fact, should be default practice.

Using the format `ip:port` in the "addresses" block will cause Consul to crash on reload/start. See issue (#1727)[https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/issues/1727#issuecomment-184980751]
