 The agent is the long running process that is run on every machine.
 It exposes an RPC interface that is used by the CLI to control the
 agent. The agent runs the query interfaces like HTTP, DNS, and RPC.
 However, it can run in either a client, or server mode. In server
 mode, it runs a full Consul server. In client-only mode, it only forwards
 requests to other Consul servers.
