sync/atomic must be used with 64-bit aligned fields, and that alignment is difficult to
ensure unless the field is the first one in the struct.

We have seen test flakes caused by 'concurrent map read and map write', and the race detector
reports the problem as well (prevent us from running some tests with -race).
The root of the problem is the grpc expects resolvers to be registered at init time
before any requests are made, but we were using a separate resolver for each test.
This commit introduces a resolver registry. The registry is registered as the single
resolver for the consul scheme. Each test uses the Authority section of the target
(instead of the scheme) to identify the resolver that should be used for the test.
The scheme is used for lookup, which is why it can no longer be used as the unique
key.
This allows us to use a lock around the map of resolvers, preventing the data race.
defaultMetrics was being set at package import time, which meant that it received an instance of
the original default. But lib/telemetry.InitTelemetry sets a new global when it is called.
This resulted in the metrics being sent nowhere.
This commit changes defaultMetrics to be a function, so it will return the global instance when
called. Since it is called after InitTelemetry it will return the correct metrics instance.
Gauge metrics are great for understanding the current state, but can somtimes hide problems
if there are many disconnect/reconnects.
This commit adds counter metrics for connections and streams to make it easier to see the
count of newly created connections and streams.
Instead of using retry.Run, which appears to have problems in some cases where it does not
emit an error message, use a for loop.
Increase the number of attempts and remove any sleep, since this operation is not that expensive to do
in a tight loop
Closing l.conns can lead to a race and a 'panic: send on closed chan' when a
connection is in the middle of being handled when the server is shutting down.
Found using '-race -count=800'
The router.Manager is already rebalancing servers for other connection pools, so it can call into our resolver to do the same.
This change allows us to remove the serf dependency from resolverBuilder, and remove Datacenter from the config.
Also revert the change to refreshServerRebalanceTimer
Rename GRPCClient to ClientConnPool. This type appears to be more of a
conn pool than a client. The clients receive the connections from this
pool.
Reduce some dependencies by adjusting the interface baoundaries.
Remove the need to create a second slice of Servers, just to pick one and throw the rest away.
Unexport serverResolver, it is not used outside the package.
Use a RWMutex for ServerResolverBuilder, some locking is read-only.
Add more godoc.
Occasionally this test would flake. The flakes were fixed by:
1. Stopping the service and retrying to check on metrics. This way we
also include the active_streams going to 0 in the metric calls.
2. Using a reference to the global Metrics. This way when other tests
have background goroutines that are still shutting down, they won't
emit metrics to the metric instance with the fake Sink. The stats
test can patch the local reference to the global, so the existing
statHandlers will continue to emit to the global, but the stats
test will send all metrics to the replacement.
