client: Fixed a bug where clients would ignore the `client_auto_join` setting after losing connection with the servers, causing them to incorrectly fallback to Consul discovery if it was set to `false`.

client: respect `client_auto_join` after connection loss (#11585) The `consul.client_auto_join` configuration block tells the Nomad client whether to use Consul service discovery to find Nomad servers. By default it is set to `true`, but contrary to the documentation it was only respected during the initial client registration. If a client missed a heartbeat, failed a `Node.UpdateStatus` RPC, or if there was no Nomad leader, the client would fallback to Consul even if `client_auto_join` was set to `false`. This changeset returns early from the client's trigger for Consul discovery if the `client_auto_join` field is set to `false`. 2021-11-30 18:20:42 +00:00			```release-note:bug
