The anti-entropy code manages background synchronizations of the local
state on a regular basis or on demand when either the state has changed
or a new consul server has been added.
This patch moves the anti-entropy code into its own package and
decouples it from the local state code since they are performing
two different functions.
To simplify code-review this revision does not make any optimizations,
renames or refactorings. This will happen in subsequent commits.
The `consul agent` command was ignoring extra command line arguments
which can lead to confusion when the user has for example forgotten to
add a dash in front of an argument or is not using an `=` when setting
boolean flags to `true`. `-bootstrap true` is not the same as
`-bootstrap=true`, for example.
Since all command line flags are known and we don't expect unparsed
arguments we can return an error. However, this may make it slightly
more difficult in the future if we ever wanted to have these kinds of
arguments.
Fixes#3397
DNS recursors can be added through go-sockaddr templates. Entries
are deduplicated while the order is maintained.

The anti-entropy tests relied on the side-effect of the StartSync()
method to perform a full sync instead of a partial sync. This lead to
multiple anti-entropy go routines being started unnecessary retry loops.
This change changes the behavior to perform synchronous full syncs when
necessary removing the need for all of the time.Sleep and most of the
retry loops.
The state of the service and health check records was spread out over
multiple maps guarded by a single lock. Access to the maps has to happen
in a coordinated effort and the tests often violated this which made
them brittle and racy.
This patch replaces the multiple maps with a single one for both checks
and services to make the code less fragile.
This is also necessary since moving the local state into its own package
creates circular dependencies for the tests. To avoid this the tests can
no longer access internal data structures which they should not be doing
in the first place.
The tests still don't compile but this is a ncessary step in that
direction.

This patch removes the porter tool which hands out free ports from a
given range with a library which does the same thing. The challenge for
acquiring free ports in concurrent go test runs is that go packages are
tested concurrently and run in separate processes. There has to be some
inter-process synchronization in preventing processes allocating the
same ports.
freeport allocates blocks of ports from a range expected to be not in
heavy use and implements a system-wide mutex by binding to the first
port of that block for the lifetime of the application. Ports are then
provided sequentially from that block and are tested on localhost before
being returned as available.
Queries to the DNS server can contain an optional datacenter
name in the query name. You can query for 'foo.service.consul'
or 'foo.service.dc.consul' to get a response for either the
default or a specific datacenter.
Datacenter names cannot have dots, therefore the datacenter
name can refer to only one element in the DNS query name.
The DNS server allowed extra labels between the optional
datacenter name and the domain and returned a valid response
instead of returning NXDOMAIN. For example, if the domain
is set to '.consul' then 'foo.service.dc1.extra.consul'
should return NXDOMAIN because of 'extra' being between
the datacenter name 'dc1' and the domain '.consul'.

See #2932
* Updates the API client to support the current `ScriptArgs` parameter
for checks.
* Updates docs for checks to explain the `ScriptArgs` parameter issue.
* Adds mappings for "args" and "script-args" to give th API parity
with config.
* Adds checks on return codes.
* Removes debug logging that shows empty when args are used.
* Adds a brief wait and poll period to update the check status
if we get stucking waiting for the processes to terminate.
Fixes#3570
* Jumps out of timeout case and includes script output.
* Kill check processes after the timeout is reached
Kill the subprocess spawned by a script check once the timeout is reached. Previously Consul just marked the check critical and left the subprocess around.
Fixes#3565.
* Set err to non-nil when timeout occurs
* Fix check timeout test
* Kill entire process subtree on check timeout
* Add a docs note about windows subprocess termination
* agent: add option to discard health output
In high volatile environments consul will have checks with "noisy"
output which changes every time even though the status does not change.
Since the output is stored in the raft log every health check update
unblocks a blocking call on health checks since the raft index has
changed even though the status of the health checks may not have changed
at all. By discarding the output of the health checks the users can
choose a different tradeoff. Less visibility on why a check failed in
exchange for a reduced change rate on the raft log.
* agent: discard output also when adding a check
* agent: add test for discard check output
* agent: update docs
* go vet
* Adds discard_check_output to reloadable config table.
* Updates the change log.
* Fixes agent error handling when check definition is invalid. Distinguishes between empty checks vs invalid checks
* Made CheckTypes return Checks from service definition struct rather than a new copy, and other changes from code review. This also errors when json payload contains empty structs
* Simplify and improve validate method, and make sure that CheckTypes always returns a new copy of validated check definitions
* Tweaks some small style things and error messages.
* Updates the change log.
* doc: document discrepancy between id and CheckID
* doc: document enable_tag_override change
* config: add TranslateKeys helper
TranslateKeys makes it easier to map between different representations
of internal structures. It allows to recursively map alias keys to
canonical keys in structured maps.
* config: use TranslateKeys for config file
This also adds support for 'enabletagoverride' and removes
the need for a separate CheckID alias field.
* config: remove dead code
* agent: use TranslateKeys for FixupCheckType
* agent: translate enable_tag_override during service registration
* doc: add '.hcl' as valid extension
* config: map ScriptArgs to args
* config: add comment for TranslateKeys
* Adds client-side retry for no leader errors.
This paves over the case where the client was connected to the leader
when it loses leadership.
* Adds a configurable server RPC drain time and a fail-fast path for RPCs.
When a server leaves it gets removed from the Raft configuration, so it will
never know who the new leader server ends up being. Without this we'd be
doomed to wait out the RPC hold timeout and then fail. This makes things fail
a little quicker while a sever is draining, and since we added a client retry
AND since the server doing this has already shut down and left the Serf LAN,
clients should retry against some other server.
* Makes the RPC hold timeout configurable.
* Reorders struct members.
* Sets the RPC hold timeout default for test servers.
* Bumps the leave drain time up to 5 seconds.
* Robustifies retries with a simpler client-side RPC hold.
* Reverts untended delete.
* Fixes handling of stop channel and failed barrier attempts.
There were two issues here. First, we needed to not exit when there
was a timeout trying to write the barrier, because Raft might not
step down, so we'd be left as the leader but having run all the step
down actions.
Second, we didn't close over the stopCh correctly, so it was possible
to nil that out and have the leaderLoop never exit. We close over it
properly AND sequence the nil-ing of it AFTER the leaderLoop exits for
good measure, so the code is more robust.
Fixes#3545
* Cleans up based on code review feedback.
* Tweaks comments.
* Renames variables and removes comments.
* Clean up handling of subprocesses and make using a shell optional
* Update docs for subprocess changes
* Fix tests for new subprocess behavior
* More cleanup of subprocesses
* Minor adjustments and cleanup for subprocess logic
* Makes the watch handler reload test use the new path.
* Adds check tests for new args path, and updates existing tests to use new path.
* Adds support for script args in Docker checks.
* Fixes the sanitize unit test.
* Adds panic for unknown watch type, and reverts back to Run().
* Adds shell option back to consul lock command.
* Adds shell option back to consul exec command.
* Adds shell back into consul watch command.
* Refactors signal forwarding and makes Windows-friendly.
* Adds a clarifying comment.
* Changes error wording to a warning.
* Scopes signals to interrupt and kill.
This avoids us trying to send SIGCHILD to the dead process.
* Adds an error for shell=false for consul exec.
* Adds notes about the deprecated script and handler fields.
* De-nests an if statement.
