The Intention.Apply RPC is quite large, so this PR attempts to break it down into smaller functions and dissolves the pre-config-entry approach to the breakdown as it only confused things.
Header is: X-Consul-Default-ACL-Policy=<allow|deny>
This is of particular utility when fetching matching intentions, as the
fallthrough for a request that doesn't match any intentions is to
enforce using the default acl policy.
The Catalog, Config Entry, KV and Session resources potentially re-validate the input as its coming in. We need to prevent snapshot restoration failures due to missing namespaces or namespaces that are being deleted in enterprise.
Previously config entries sharing a kind & name but in different
namespaces could occasionally cause "stuck states" in replication
because the namespace fields were ignored during the differential
comparison phase.
Example:
Two config entries written to the primary:
kind=A,name=web,namespace=bar
kind=A,name=web,namespace=foo
Under the covers these both get saved to memdb, so they are sorted by
all 3 components (kind,name,namespace) during natural iteration. This
means that before the replication code does it's own incomplete sort,
the underlying data IS sorted by namespace ascending (bar comes before
foo).
After one pass of replication the primary and secondary datacenters have
the same set of config entries present. If
"kind=A,name=web,namespace=bar" were to be deleted, then things get
weird. Before replication the two sides look like:
primary: [
kind=A,name=web,namespace=foo
]
secondary: [
kind=A,name=web,namespace=bar
kind=A,name=web,namespace=foo
]
The differential comparison phase walks these two lists in sorted order
and first compares "kind=A,name=web,namespace=foo" vs
"kind=A,name=web,namespace=bar" and falsely determines they are the SAME
and are thus cause an update of "kind=A,name=web,namespace=foo". Then it
compares "<nothing>" with "kind=A,name=web,namespace=foo" and falsely
determines that the latter should be DELETED.
During reconciliation the deletes are processed before updates, and so
for a brief moment in the secondary "kind=A,name=web,namespace=foo" is
erroneously deleted and then immediately restored.
Unfortunately after this replication phase the final state is identical
to the initial state, so when it loops around again (rate limited) it
repeats the same set of operations indefinitely.
When a service is deregistered, we check whever matching services were
registered as sidecar along with it and deregister them as well.
To determine if a service is indeed a sidecar we check the
structs.ServiceNode.LocallyRegisteredAsSidecar property. However, to
avoid interal API leakage, it is excluded from JSON serialization,
meaning it is not persisted to disk either.
When the agent is restarted, this property lost and sidecars are no
longer deregistered along with their parent service.
To fix this, we now specifically save this property in the persisted
service file.

* Consul Service meta wrongly computes and exposes non_voter meta
In Serf Tags, entreprise members being non-voters use the tag
`nonvoter=1`, not `non_voter = false`, so non-voters in members
were wrongly displayed as voter.
Demonstration:
```
consul members -detailed|grep voter
consul20-hk5 10.200.100.110:8301 alive acls=1,build=1.8.4+ent,dc=hk5,expect=3,ft_fs=1,ft_ns=1,id=xxxxxxxx-5629-08f2-3a79-10a1ab3849d5,nonvoter=1,port=8300,raft_vsn=3,role=consul,segment=<all>,use_tls=1,vsn=2,vsn_max=3,vsn_min=2,wan_join_port=8302

This is the recommended proxy integration API for listing intentions
which should not require an active connection to the servers to resolve
after the initial cache filling.
This allows for client agent to be run in a more stateless manner where they may be abruptly terminated and not expected to come back. If advertising a per-agent reconnect timeout using the advertise_reconnect_timeout configuration when that agent leaves, other agents will wait only that amount of time for the agent to come back before reaping it.
This has the advantageous side effect of causing servers to deregister the node/services/checks for that agent sooner than if the global reconnect_timeout was used.
- Upgrade the ConfigEntry.ListAll RPC to be kind-aware so that older
copies of consul will not see new config entries it doesn't understand
replicate down.
- Add shim conversion code so that the old API/CLI method of interacting
with intentions will continue to work so long as none of these are
edited via config entry endpoints. Almost all of the read-only APIs will
continue to function indefinitely.
- Add new APIs that operate on individual intentions without IDs so that
the UI doesn't need to implement CAS operations.
- Add a new serf feature flag indicating support for
intentions-as-config-entries.
- The old line-item intentions way of interacting with the state store
will transparently flip between the legacy memdb table and the config
entry representations so that readers will never see a hiccup during
migration where the results are incomplete. It uses a piece of system
metadata to control the flip.
- The primary datacenter will begin migrating intentions into config
entries on startup once all servers in the datacenter are on a version
of Consul with the intentions-as-config-entries feature flag. When it is
complete the old state store representations will be cleared. We also
record a piece of system metadata indicating this has occurred. We use
this metadata to skip ALL of this code the next time the leader starts
up.
- The secondary datacenters continue to run the old intentions
replicator until all servers in the secondary DC and primary DC support
intentions-as-config-entries (via serf flag). Once this condition it met
the old intentions replicator ceases.
- The secondary datacenters replicate the new config entries as they are
migrated in the primary. When they detect that the primary has zeroed
it's old state store table it waits until all config entries up to that
point are replicated and then zeroes its own copy of the old state store
table. We also record a piece of system metadata indicating this has
occurred. We use this metadata to skip ALL of this code the next time
the leader starts up.
This adds a new very tiny memdb table and corresponding raft operation
for updating a very small effective map[string]string collection of
"system metadata". This can persistently record a fact about the Consul
state machine itself.
The first use of this feature will come in a later PR.
