scheduler: when multiple evaluations are pending for the same job, evaluate the latest and cancel the intermediaries on success

eval broker: shed all but one blocked eval per job after ack (#14621) When an evaluation is acknowledged by a scheduler, the resulting plan is guaranteed to cover up to the `waitIndex` set by the worker based on the most recent evaluation for that job in the state store. At that point, we no longer need to retain blocked evaluations in the broker that are older than that index. Move all but the highest priority / highest `ModifyIndex` blocked eval into a canceled set. When the `Eval.Ack` RPC returns from the eval broker it will signal a reap of a batch of cancelable evals to write to raft. This paces the cancelations limited by how frequently the schedulers are acknowledging evals; this should reduce the risk of cancelations from overwhelming raft relative to scheduler progress. In order to avoid straggling batches when the cluster is quiet, we also include a periodic sweep through the cancelable list. 2022-11-16 21:10:11 +00:00			```release-note:improvement
