// The snapshot endpoint is a special non-RPC endpoint that supports streaming
// for taking and restoring snapshots for disaster recovery. This gets wired
// directly into Consul's stream handler, and a new TCP connection is made for
// each request.
//
// This also includes a SnapshotRPC() function, which acts as a lightweight
// client that knows the details of the stream protocol.
