* new config parser for agent
This patch implements a new config parser for the consul agent which
makes the following changes to the previous implementation:
* add HCL support
* all configuration fragments in tests and for default config are
expressed as HCL fragments
* HCL fragments can be provided on the command line so that they
can eventually replace the command line flags.
* HCL/JSON fragments are parsed into a temporary Config structure
which can be merged using reflection (all values are pointers).
The existing merge logic of overwrite for values and append
for slices has been preserved.
* A single builder process generates a typed runtime configuration
for the agent.
The new implementation is more strict and fails in the builder process
if no valid runtime configuration can be generated. Therefore,
additional validations in other parts of the code should be removed.
The builder also pre-computes all required network addresses so that no
address/port magic should be required where the configuration is used
and should therefore be removed.

* Update github.com/hashicorp/memberlist to update log prefix
* Make memberlist use the default logger

* do not fail on non-existing data-dir
* experiment with non-uniform timeouts to get a handle on stalled leader elections
* Run tests for packages separately to eliminate the spurious port conflicts
* refactor private address detection and unify approach for ipv4 and ipv6.

* Gets rid of skipped TestAgent_CheckPerformanceSettings and adds case for builder.
* Add porter to server_test.go to make tests there less flaky
* go fmt
The error handling of the ACL code relies on the presence of certain
magic error messages. Since the error values are sent via RPC between
older and newer consul agents we cannot just replace the magic values
with typed errors and switch to type checks since this would break
compatibility with older clients.
Therefore, this patch moves all magic ACL error messages into the acl
package and provides default error values and helper functions which
determine the type of error.
When the agent is triggered to shutdown via an external 'consul leave'
command delivered via the HTTP API then the client expects to receive a
response when the agent is down. This creates a race on when to shutdown
the agent itself like the RPC server, the checks and the state and the
external endpoints like DNS and HTTP.
This patch splits the shutdown process into two parts:
* shutdown the agent
* shutdown the endpoints (http and dns)
They can be executed multiple times, concurrently and in any order but
should be executed first agent, then endpoints to provide consistent
behavior across all use cases. Both calls have to be executed for a
proper shutdown.
This could be partially hidden in a single function but would introduce
some magic that happens behind the scenes which one has to know of but
isn't obvious.
Fixes#2880
