Load balancing policies are configured in service-resolvers. All Envoy load balancing algorithms are currently supported. Including: least_request, round_robin, random, maglev, and ring_hash.
At the moment hash-based load balancing configuration is not applied at mesh gateways since they cannot decrypt traffic to inspect HTTP attributes like headers.

Related changes:
- hard-fail the xDS connection attempt if the envoy version is known to be too old to be supported
- remove the RouterMatchSafeRegex proxy feature since all supported envoy versions have it
- stop using --max-obj-name-len (due to: envoyproxy/envoy#11740)
This implements a solution for #7863
It does:
Add a new config cache.entry_fetch_rate to limit the number of calls/s for a given cache entry, default value = rate.Inf
Add cache.entry_fetch_max_burst size of rate limit (default value = 2)
The new configuration now supports the following syntax for instance to allow 1 query every 3s:
command line HCL: -hcl 'cache = { entry_fetch_rate = 0.333}'
in JSON
{
"cache": {
"entry_fetch_rate": 0.333
}
}
The "Overview" link previously went to a summary of Consul features and a
comparison to other products. This commit restores that destination at the
request of Consul PMs.
This commit previously removed the link (it went to `/` instead of `/intro`).

Fixes#7764
Until now these two fields could only be set through on-disk agent configuration.
This change adds the fields to the agent API struct definition so that they can
be set using the agent HTTP API.
Highlights:
- add new endpoint to query for intentions by exact match
- using this endpoint from the CLI instead of the dump+filter approach
- enforcing that OSS can only read/write intentions with a SourceNS or
DestinationNS field of "default".
- preexisting OSS intentions with now-invalid namespace fields will
delete those intentions on initial election or for wildcard namespaces
an attempt will be made to downgrade them to "default" unless one
exists.
- also allow the '-namespace' CLI arg on all of the intention subcommands
- update lots of docs
This example shows a TLS enabled ingress config on a non-https port.
Currently, that means we require the port to be specified in one of the
host entries to route traffic.
* Updates docs with ingress Host header changes
Clarify that a Host header is required for L7 protocols, and specify
that the default is to use the Consul DNS ingress subdomain
* Add sentence about using '*' by itself for testing
* Add optional step for using L7 routing config
* Note that port numbers may need to be added in the Hosts field
* Formatting spaces between keys in Config entries
* Service Router spacing
* Missing Camel Case proxy-defaults
* Remove extra spaces service-splitter
* Remove extra spsaces service-resolver
* More spaces a la hclfmt

A Node Identity is very similar to a service identity. Its main targeted use is to allow creating tokens for use by Consul agents that will grant the necessary permissions for all the typical agent operations (node registration, coordinate updates, anti-entropy).
Half of this commit is for golden file based tests of the acl token and role cli output. Another big updates was to refactor many of the tests in agent/consul/acl_endpoint_test.go to use the same style of tests and the same helpers. Besides being less boiler plate in the tests it also uses a common way of starting a test server with ACLs that should operate without any warnings regarding deprecated non-uuid master tokens etc.

This allows the operator to disable agent caching for the http endpoint.
It is on by default for backwards compatibility and if disabled will
ignore the url parameter `cached`.
Found using staticcheck.
binary.Write does not accept int types without a size. The error from binary.Write was ignored, so we never saw this error. Casting the data to uint64 produces a correct hash.
Also deprecate the Default{Addr,Port} fields, and prevent them from being encoded. These fields will always be empty and are not used.
Removing these would break backwards compatibility, so they are left in place for now.

The DNS resolution will be handled by Envoy and defaults to LOGICAL_DNS. This discovery type can be overridden on a per-gateway basis with the envoy_dns_discovery_type Gateway Option.
If a service contains an instance with a hostname as an address we set the Envoy cluster to use DNS as the discovery type rather than EDS. Since both mesh gateways and terminating gateways route to clusters using SNI, whenever there is a mix of hostnames and IP addresses associated with a service we use the hostname + CDS rather than the IPs + EDS.
Note that we detect hostnames by attempting to parse the service instance's address as an IP. If it is not a valid IP we assume it is a hostname.
The doc says: "When the Connect injector is installed, the Connect sidecar is automatically added to all pods." But, it depends on the configuration, so I think it's better to say: "When the Connect injector is installed, the Connect sidecar can automatically added to all pods."
Based on work done in https://github.com/hashicorp/memberlist/pull/196
this allows to restrict the IP ranges that can join a given Serf cluster
and be a member of the cluster.
Restrictions on IPs can be done separatly using 2 new differents flags
and config options to restrict IPs for LAN and WAN Serf.
This removes "Intro", which is actually no longer the recommended
get-started place (Learn takes that spot).
Additionally, there is now a separator between the high level business
value stuff, and the low level developer stuff.
This PR contains documentation additions for ingress and terminating gateways. New pages for the config-entries and overall feature description were added, as well as various additions to related pages.

* Add ACL CLI commands output format option.

* Return error code in case of formatting failure.

This is like a Möbius strip of code due to the fact that low-level components (serf/memberlist) are connected to high-level components (the catalog and mesh-gateways) in a twisty maze of references which make it hard to dive into. With that in mind here's a high level summary of what you'll find in the patch:
There are several distinct chunks of code that are affected:
* new flags and config options for the server
* retry join WAN is slightly different
* retry join code is shared to discover primary mesh gateways from secondary datacenters
* because retry join logic runs in the *agent* and the results of that
operation for primary mesh gateways are needed in the *server* there are
some methods like `RefreshPrimaryGatewayFallbackAddresses` that must occur
at multiple layers of abstraction just to pass the data down to the right
layer.
* new cache type `FederationStateListMeshGatewaysName` for use in `proxycfg/xds` layers
* the function signature for RPC dialing picked up a new required field (the
node name of the destination)
* several new RPCs for manipulating a FederationState object:
`FederationState:{Apply,Get,List,ListMeshGateways}`
* 3 read-only internal APIs for debugging use to invoke those RPCs from curl
* raft and fsm changes to persist these FederationStates
* replication for FederationStates as they are canonically stored in the
Primary and replicated to the Secondaries.
* a special derivative of anti-entropy that runs in secondaries to snapshot
their local mesh gateway `CheckServiceNodes` and sync them into their upstream
FederationState in the primary (this works in conjunction with the
replication to distribute addresses for all mesh gateways in all DCs to all
other DCs)
* a "gateway locator" convenience object to make use of this data to choose
the addresses of gateways to use for any given RPC or gossip operation to a
remote DC. This gets data from the "retry join" logic in the agent and also
directly calls into the FSM.
* RPC (`:8300`) on the server sniffs the first byte of a new connection to
determine if it's actually doing native TLS. If so it checks the ALPN header
for protocol determination (just like how the existing system uses the
type-byte marker).
* 2 new kinds of protocols are exclusively decoded via this native TLS
mechanism: one for ferrying "packet" operations (udp-like) from the gossip
layer and one for "stream" operations (tcp-like). The packet operations
re-use sockets (using length-prefixing) to cut down on TLS re-negotiation
overhead.
* the server instances specially wrap the `memberlist.NetTransport` when running
with gateway federation enabled (in a `wanfed.Transport`). The general gist is
that if it tries to dial a node in the SAME datacenter (deduced by looking
at the suffix of the node name) there is no change. If dialing a DIFFERENT
datacenter it is wrapped up in a TLS+ALPN blob and sent through some mesh
gateways to eventually end up in a server's :8300 port.
* a new flag when launching a mesh gateway via `consul connect envoy` to
indicate that the servers are to be exposed. This sets a special service
meta when registering the gateway into the catalog.
* `proxycfg/xds` notice this metadata blob to activate additional watches for
the FederationState objects as well as the location of all of the consul
servers in that datacenter.
* `xds:` if the extra metadata is in place additional clusters are defined in a
DC to bulk sink all traffic to another DC's gateways. For the current
datacenter we listen on a wildcard name (`server.<dc>.consul`) that load
balances all servers as well as one mini-cluster per node
(`<node>.server.<dc>.consul`)
* the `consul tls cert create` command got a new flag (`-node`) to help create
an additional SAN in certs that can be used with this flavor of federation.
The Session API in Consul 1.7.0 and 1.7.1 is incompatible with prior versions of Consul.
This PR adds a note to our version-specific upgrade guide to guard against users upgrading before the fix in 1.7.2 is released.
The go-discover library supports Linode. This adds support for
discovering other Consul agents running on Linode. Consul has supported
this since [66b8c20][1] was merged, so this commit just updates the
documentation to match current features.

* Remove trailing whitespace in DNS forwarding guide.
* Add example for enabling reverse lookup of IP addrseses to .consul domain on systemd-resolved platforms
The option `username` does not work. Need to use user_name with underscore

This commit changes the health check example shown for the
success/failures_before_passing option to correctly show that the value
of `checks` is an array of objects, not an object.
Added text clarifying these check parameters are available in Consul
1.7.0 and later.
Expanded the health check to provide a more complete configuration
example.
Resolves#7114.
The backing RPC already existed but the endpoint will be useful for other service syncing processes such as consul-k8s as this endpoint can return all services registered with a node regardless of namespacing.
Removing automatic connection wording for applications for the time being. From @blake
> They can automatically establish TLS connections without being aware that TLS is happening. They are aware that they’re routed through the Connect proxy, the app has to configure itself to use the local upstream port.
Currently when using the built-in CA provider for Connect, root certificates are valid for 10 years, however secondary DCs get intermediates that are valid for only 1 year. There is no mechanism currently short of rotating the root in the primary that will cause the secondary DCs to renew their intermediates.
This PR adds a check that renews the cert if it is half way through its validity period.
In order to be able to test these changes, a new configuration option was added: IntermediateCertTTL which is set extremely low in the tests.

For read operations they can call anyAllowed to determine if any read access to the given resource would be granted.
For write operations they can call allAllowed to ensure that write access is granted to everything.
* Make v1/agent/connect/authorize namespace aware
* Update intention ACL enforcement
This also changes how intention:read is granted. Before the Intention.List RPC would allow viewing an intention if the token had intention:read on the destination. However Intention.Match allowed viewing if access was allowed for either the source or dest side. Now Intention.List and Intention.Get fall in line with Intention.Matches previous behavior.
Due to this being done a few different places ACL enforcement for a singular intention is now done with the CanRead and CanWrite methods on the intention itself.

But the `-1` case was not implemented and led to a panic when being

forward to svc/<your release name>-consul-server"
- Use config.yaml as the name for the override values file since it
