Kyle Havlovitz b21cd112e5 Allow ingress gateways to route traffic based on Host header
This commit adds the necessary changes to allow an ingress gateway to
route traffic from a single defined port to multiple different upstream
services in the Consul mesh.

To do this, we now require all HTTP requests coming into the ingress
gateway to specify a Host header that matches "<service-name>.*" in
order to correctly route traffic to the correct service.

- Differentiate multiple listener's route names by port
- Adds a case in xds for allowing default discovery chains to create a
  route configuration when on an ingress gateway. This allows default
  services to easily use host header routing
- ingress-gateways have a single route config for each listener
  that utilizes domain matching to route to different services.

Daniel Nephin 1251c01b73 agent/cache: Make all cache options RegisterOptions
Previously the SupportsBlocking option was specified by a method on the
type, and all the other options were specified from RegisterOptions.

This change moves RegisterOptions to a method on the type, and moves
SupportsBlocking into the options struct.

Currently there are only 2 cache-types. So all cache-types can implement
this method by embedding a struct with those predefined values. In the
future if a cache type needs to be registered more than once with different
options it can remove the embedded type and implement the method in a way
that allows for paramaterization.

proxycfg: support path exposed with non-HTTP2 protocol (#7510)
If a proxied service is a gRPC or HTTP2 service, but a path is exposed
using the HTTP1 or TCP protocol, Envoy should not be configured with
`http2ProtocolOptions` for the cluster backing the path.

A situation where this comes up is a gRPC service whose healthcheck or
metrics route (e.g. for Prometheus) is an HTTP1 service running on
a different port. Previously, if these were exposed either using
`Expose: { Checks: true }` or `Expose: { Paths: ... }`, Envoy would
still be configured to communicate with the path over HTTP2, which would
not work properly.

wan federation via mesh gateways (#6884)
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.

xDS Mesh Gateway Resolver Subset Fixes (#7294)
* xDS Mesh Gateway Resolver Subset Fixes

The first fix was that clusters were being generated for every service resolver subset regardless of there being any service instances of the associated service in that dc. The previous logic didn’t care at all but now it will omit generating those clusters unless we also have service instances that should be proxied.

The second fix was to respect the DefaultSubset of a service resolver so that mesh-gateways would configure the endpoints of the unnamed subset cluster to only those endpoints matched by the default subsets filters.

* Refactor the gateway endpoint generation to be a little easier to read

agent: cache notifications work after error if the underlying RPC returns index=1 (#6547)
Fixes #6521

Ensure that initial failures to fetch an agent cache entry using the
notify API where the underlying RPC returns a synthetic index of 1
correctly recovers when those RPCs resume working.

The bug in the Cache.notifyBlockingQuery used to incorrectly "fix" the
index for the next query from 0 to 1 for all queries, when it should
have not done so for queries that errored.

Also fixed some things that made debugging difficult:

- config entry read/list endpoints send back QueryMeta headers
- xds event loops don't swallow the cache notification errors

Expose HTTP-based paths through Connect proxy (#6446)
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.

Setting ExternalSNI will disable mesh gateway use for that target. It also 
disables several service-resolver features that do not make sense for an 
external service.

connect: fix failover through a mesh gateway to a remote datacenter (#6259)
Failover is pushed entirely down to the data plane by creating envoy
clusters and putting each successive destination in a different load
assignment priority band. For example this shows that normally requests
go to 1.2.3.4:8080 but when that fails they go to 6.7.8.9:8080:

- name: foo
  load_assignment:
    cluster_name: foo
    policy:
      overprovisioning_factor: 100000
    endpoints:
    - priority: 0
      lb_endpoints:
      - endpoint:
          address:
            socket_address:
              address: 1.2.3.4
              port_value: 8080
    - priority: 1
      lb_endpoints:
      - endpoint:
          address:
            socket_address:
              address: 6.7.8.9
              port_value: 8080

Mesh gateways route requests based solely on the SNI header tacked onto
the TLS layer. Envoy currently only lets you configure the outbound SNI
header at the cluster layer.

If you try to failover through a mesh gateway you ideally would
configure the SNI value per endpoint, but that's not possible in envoy
today.

This PR introduces a simpler way around the problem for now:

1. We identify any target of failover that will use mesh gateway mode local or
   remote and then further isolate any resolver node in the compiled discovery
   chain that has a failover destination set to one of those targets.

2. For each of these resolvers we will perform a small measurement of
   comparative healths of the endpoints that come back from the health API for the
   set of primary target and serial failover targets. We walk the list of targets
   in order and if any endpoint is healthy we return that target, otherwise we
   move on to the next target.

3. The CDS and EDS endpoints both perform the measurements in (2) for the
   affected resolver nodes.

4. For CDS this measurement selects which TLS SNI field to use for the cluster
   (note the cluster is always going to be named for the primary target)

5. For EDS this measurement selects which set of endpoints will populate the
   cluster. Priority tiered failover is ignored.

One of the big downsides to this approach to failover is that the failover
detection and correction is going to be controlled by consul rather than
deferring that entirely to the data plane as with the prior version. This also
means that we are bound to only failover using official health signals and
cannot make use of data plane signals like outlier detection to affect
failover.

In this specific scenario the lack of data plane signals is ok because the
effectiveness is already muted by the fact that the ultimate destination
endpoints will have their data plane signals scrambled when they pass through
the mesh gateway wrapper anyway so we're not losing much.

Another related fix is that we now use the endpoint health from the
underlying service, not the health of the gateway (regardless of
failover mode).

connect: simplify the compiled discovery chain data structures (#6242)
This should make them better for sending over RPC or the API.

Instead of a chain implemented explicitly like a linked list (nodes
holding pointers to other nodes) instead switch to a flat map of named
nodes with nodes linking other other nodes by name. The shipped
structure is just a map and a string to indicate which key to start
from.

Other changes:

* inline the compiler option InferDefaults as true

* introduce compiled target config to avoid needing to send back
  additional maps of Resolvers; future target-specific compiled state
  can go here

* move compiled MeshGateway out of the Resolver and into the
  TargetConfig where it makes more sense.

connect: reconcile how upstream configuration works with discovery chains (#6225)
* connect: reconcile how upstream configuration works with discovery chains

The following upstream config fields for connect sidecars sanely
integrate into discovery chain resolution:

- Destination Namespace/Datacenter: Compilation occurs locally but using
different default values for namespaces and datacenters. The xDS
clusters that are created are named as they normally would be.

- Mesh Gateway Mode (single upstream): If set this value overrides any
value computed for any resolver for the entire discovery chain. The xDS
clusters that are created may be named differently (see below).

- Mesh Gateway Mode (whole sidecar): If set this value overrides any
value computed for any resolver for the entire discovery chain. If this
is specifically overridden for a single upstream this value is ignored
in that case. The xDS clusters that are created may be named differently
(see below).

- Protocol (in opaque config): If set this value overrides the value
computed when evaluating the entire discovery chain. If the normal chain
would be TCP or if this override is set to TCP then the result is that
we explicitly disable L7 Routing and Splitting. The xDS clusters that
are created may be named differently (see below).

- Connect Timeout (in opaque config): If set this value overrides the
value for any resolver in the entire discovery chain. The xDS clusters
that are created may be named differently (see below).

If any of the above overrides affect the actual result of compiling the
discovery chain (i.e. "tcp" becomes "grpc" instead of being a no-op
override to "tcp") then the relevant parameters are hashed and provided
to the xDS layer as a prefix for use in naming the Clusters. This is to
ensure that if one Upstream discovery chain has no overrides and
tangentially needs a cluster named "api.default.XXX", and another
Upstream does have overrides for "api.default.XXX" that they won't
cross-pollinate against the operator's wishes.

Implement prepared query upstreams watching for envoy (#5224)
Fixes #4969 

This implements non-blocking request polling at the cache layer which is currently only used for prepared queries. Additionally this enables the proxycfg manager to poll prepared queries for use in envoy proxy upstreams.

Paul Banks 10af44006a Proxy Config Manager (#4729)
* Proxy Config Manager

This component watches for local state changes on the agent and ensures that each service registered locally with Kind == connect-proxy has it's state being actively populated in the cache.

This serves two purposes:
 1. For the built-in proxy, it ensures that the state needed to accept connections is available in RAM shortly after registration and likely before the proxy actually starts accepting traffic.
 2. For (future - next PR) xDS server and other possible future proxies that require _push_ based config discovery, this provides a mechanism to subscribe and be notified about updates to a proxy instance's config including upstream service discovery results.

* Address review comments

* Better comments; Better delivery of latest snapshot for slow watchers; Embed Config

* Comment typos

* Add upstream Stringer for funsies
