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.
Add command level formatter, that incapsulates command output printing
logiс that depends on the command `-format` option.
Move Print* functions from acl_helpers to prettyFormatter. Add jsonFormatter.
* Return error code in case of formatting failure.
* Add acl commands -format option to doc.
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

The option `user_name` works, however, it's need to use `region`, `domain_name` in additional.
* add 1.12.2

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.
* Refactor Intention.Apply to make things easier to follow.

* Handle discard all logfiles properly
Fixes https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/issues/6892.
The [docs](https://www.consul.io/docs/agent/options.html#_log_rotate_max_files) are stating:
> -log-rotate-max-files - to specify the maximum number of older log
> file archives to keep. Defaults to 0 (no files are ever deleted). Set to
> -1 to disable rotation and discard all log files.
But the `-1` case was not implemented and led to a panic when being
used.

- Remove duplicate install instructions from the Helm Chart page and
kept them in Running Consul
- Renamed Helm Chart to Helm Chart Reference because that's mostly what
it contains (along with some examples)
- Renamed Running Consul to Installing Consul
- Changed instructions to be for installing using Helm 3 and added
notes if using Helm 2
- Used release name "hashicorp" so subsequent instructions can be more
concise and pastable, e.g. "port forward to svc/hashicorp-consul-server" vs. "port
forward to svc/<your release name>-consul-server"
- Use config.yaml as the name for the override values file since it
differentiates from the default values.yaml file and its the name of the
file used in the helm docs
(https://helm.sh/docs/intro/using_helm/#customizing-the-chart-before-installing)
* Adds 'limits' field to the upstream configuration of a connect proxy
This allows a user to configure the envoy connect proxy with
'max_connections', 'max_queued_requests', and 'max_concurrent_requests'. These
values are defined in the local proxy on a per-service instance basis
and should thus NOT be thought of as a global-level or even service-level value.

Fixes#2742
Previously the docs didn't clarify that if a server restarts as a client then force-leave won't lead to removing the node from the raft config. This is because the node, which is alive after a restart, will refute messages about it having left . These messages about members leaving are in turn what trigger Consul's leader to remove a server from raft.
Fixes: #5396
This PR adds a proxy configuration stanza called expose. These flags register
listeners in Connect sidecar proxies to allow requests to specific HTTP paths from outside of the node. This allows services to protect themselves by only
listening on the loopback interface, while still accepting traffic from non
Connect-enabled services.
Under expose there is a boolean checks flag that would automatically expose all
registered HTTP and gRPC check paths.
This stanza also accepts a paths list to expose individual paths. The primary
use case for this functionality would be to expose paths for third parties like
Prometheus or the kubelet.
Listeners for requests to exposed paths are be configured dynamically at run
time. Any time a proxy, or check can be registered, a listener can also be
created.
In this initial implementation requests to these paths are not
authenticated/encrypted.
The fields in the certs are meant to hold the original binary
representation of this data, not some ascii-encoded version.
The only time we should be colon-hex-encoding fields is for display
purposes or marshaling through non-TLS mediums (like RPC).

* website: Update middleman-hashicorp container and Gemfile.lock
Time marches on, and so do security vulnerabilities in Nokogiri. So it's time
for a new container.
As with last time, here's a reminder for the next person who needs to update
this:
- You shouldn't just update the dependency in Gemfile.lock, because your build
times will go to heck as you compile Nokogiri from source on every run. So you
need an updated container with all the dependencies.
- To update the container, you need to push a new tag to the middleman-hashicorp
repo. Teamcity does the rest, and will ship a new container to Docker Hub
(unless its credentials are out of date, in which case go ask team-eng-serv.)
- Once that's pushed:
- Update Makefile
- Update the Gemfile
- Delete Gemfile.lock
- `make website` until it comes up, then ctrl-C
- Commit the changes
* website: Specify a different json version in Gemfile.lock
The Consul website uses different containers for preview and deploy, and this
oddball JSON version was causing issues. This commit sacrifices a little bit
of preview startup speed for (hopefully) working deploys.
- Bootstrap escape hatches are OK.
- Public listener/cluster escape hatches are OK.
- Upstream listener/cluster escape hatches are not supported.
If an unsupported escape hatch is configured and the discovery chain is
activated log a warning and act like it was not configured.
