remove redundant vault api retry logic
We upgraded Vault API module version to a version that has built-in
retry logic. So this code is no longer necessary.
Also add mention of re-configuring the provider in comments.
All of the current integration tests where Vault is the Connect CA now use non-root tokens for the test. This helps us detect privilege changes in the vault model so we can keep our guides up to date.
One larger change was that the RenewIntermediate function got refactored slightly so it could be used from a test, rather than the large duplicated function we were testing in a test which seemed error prone.
The fix outlined and merged in #15253 fixed the issue as it occurs in the primary
DC. There is a similar issue that arises when vault is used as the Connect CA in a
secondary datacenter that is fixed by this PR.
Additionally: this PR adds support to run the existing suite of vault related integration
tests against the last 4 versions of vault (1.9, 1.10, 1.11, 1.12)
Consul used to rely on implicit issuer selection when calling Vault endpoints to issue new CSRs. Vault 1.11+ changed that behavior, which caused Consul to check the wrong (previous) issuer when renewing its Intermediate CA. This patch allows Consul to explicitly set a default issuer when it detects that the response from Vault is 1.11+.

For mTLS to work between two proxies in peered clusters with different root CAs,
proxies need to configure their outbound listener to use different root certificates
for validation.
Up until peering was introduced proxies would only ever use one set of root certificates
to validate all mesh traffic, both inbound and outbound. Now an upstream proxy
may have a leaf certificate signed by a CA that's different from the dialing proxy's.
This PR makes changes to proxycfg and xds so that the upstream TLS validation
uses different root certificates depending on which cluster is being dialed.
* Support vault namespaces in connect CA
Follow on to some missed items from #12655
From an internal ticket "Support standard "Vault namespace in the
path" semantics for Connect Vault CA Provider"
Vault allows the namespace to be specified as a prefix in the path of
a PKI definition, but our usage of the Vault API includes calls that
don't support a namespaced key. In particular the sys.* family of
calls simply appends the key, instead of prefixing the namespace in
front of the path.
Unfortunately it is difficult to reliably parse a path with a
namespace; only vault knows what namespaces are present, and the '/'
separator can be inside a key name, as well as separating path
elements. This is in use in the wild; for example
'dc1/intermediate-key' is a relatively common naming schema.
Instead we add two new fields: RootPKINamespace and
IntermediatePKINamespace, which are the absolute namespace paths
'prefixed' in front of the respective PKI Paths.

* Avoid doing list of /sys/mounts
From an internal ticket "Support standard "Vault namespace in the path" semantics for Connect Vault CA Provider"
Vault allows the namespace to be specified as a prefix in the path of
a PKI definition, but this doesn't currently work for
```IntermediatePKIPath``` specifications, because we attempt to list
all of the paths to check if ours is already defined. This doesn't
really work in a namespaced world.
This changes the IntermediatePKIPath code to follow the same pattern
as the root key, where we directly get the key rather than listing.
This code is difficult to write automated tests for because it relies
on features of Vault Enterprise, which isn't currently part of our
test framework, so it was tested manually.

* Fix leaked Vault LifetimeRenewers
When the Vault CA Provider is reconfigured we do not stop the
LifetimeRenewers which can cause them to leak until the Consul processes
recycles. On Configure execute stopWatcher if it exists and is not nil
before starting a new renewal
* Add jitter before restarting the LifetimeWatcher
If we fail to login to Vault or our token is no longer valid we can
overwhelm a Vault instance with many requests very quickly by restarting
the LifetimeWatcher. Before restarting the LifetimeWatcher provide a
backoff time of 1 second or less.

The interface is documented as 'Sign will only return the leaf', and the other providers
only return the leaf. It seems like this was added during the initial implementation, so
is likely just something we missed. It doesn't break anything , but it does cause confusing cert chains
in the API response which could break something in the future.
This commit makes two changes to the validation.
Previously we would call this validation in GenerateRoot, which happens
both on initialization (when a follower becomes leader), and when a
configuration is updated. We only want to do this validation during
config update so the logic was moved to the UpdateConfiguration
function.
Previously we would compare the config values against the actual cert.
This caused problems when the cert was created manually in Vault (not
created by Consul). Now we compare the new config against the previous
config. Using a already created CA cert should never error now.
Adding the key bit and types to the config should only error when
the previous values were not the defaults.
This test found a bug in the secondary. We were appending the root cert
to the PEM, but that cert was already appended. This was failing
validation in Vault here:
https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/blob/sdk/v0.3.0/sdk/helper/certutil/types.go#L329
Previously this worked because self signed certs have the same
SubjectKeyID and AuthorityKeyID. So having the same self-signed cert
repeated doesn't fail that check.
However with an intermediate that is not self-signed, those values are
different, and so we fail the check. A test I added in a previous commit
should show that this continues to work with self-signed root certs as
well.
This makes it easier to fake, which will allow me to use the ConsulProvider as
an 'external PKI' to test a customer setup where the actual root CA is not
the root we use for the Consul CA.
Replaces a call to the state store to fetch the clusterID with the
clusterID field already available on the built-in provider.
* Support vault auth methods for the Vault connect CA provider
* Rotate the token (re-authenticate to vault using auth method) when the token can no longer be renewed
* Support Vault Namespaces explicitly in CA config
If there is a Namespace entry included in the Vault CA configuration,
set it as the Vault Namespace on the Vault client
Currently the only way to support Vault namespaces in the Consul CA
config is by doing one of the following:
1) Set the VAULT_NAMESPACE environment variable which will be picked up
by the Vault API client
2) Prefix all Vault paths with the namespace
Neither of these are super pleasant. The first requires direct access
and modification to the Consul runtime environment. It's possible and
expected, not super pleasant.
The second requires more indepth knowledge of Vault and how it uses
Namespaces and could be confusing for anyone without that context. It
also infers that it is not supported

As part of this change, we ensure that the SAN extensions are marked as
critical when the subject is empty so that AWS PCA tolerates the loss of
common names well and continues to function as a Connect CA provider.
Parts of this currently hack around a bug in crypto/x509 and can be
removed after https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/329129 lands in
a Go release.
Note: the AWS PCA tests do not run automatically, but the following
passed locally for me:
ENABLE_AWS_PCA_TESTS=1 go test ./agent/connect/ca -run TestAWS
With an optional interface that providers can use to indicate if they
use an intermediate cert in the primary DC.
This removes the need to look up the provider config when renewing the
intermediate.
After fixing that bug I uncovered a couple more:
Fix an issue where we might try to cross sign a cert when we never had a valid root.
Fix a potential issue where reconfiguring the CA could cause either the Vault or AWS PCA CA providers to delete resources that are still required by the new incarnation of the CA.
* Update AWS SDK to use PCA features.
* Add AWS PCA provider
* Add plumbing for config, config validation tests, add test for inheriting existing CA resources created by user
* Unparallel the tests so we don't exhaust PCA limits
* Merge updates
* More aggressive polling; rate limit pass through on sign; Timeout on Sign and CA create
* Add AWS PCA docs
* Fix Vault doc typo too
* Doc typo
* Apply suggestions from code review
