consul/connect: enable configuring custom gateway task

Add the ability to configure the Task used for Connect gateways, similar to how sidecar Task can be configured. The implementation here simply re-uses the sidecar_task stanza, and now gets applied whether connect.sidecar_service or connect.gateway is the thing being defined. In retrospect, connect.sidecar_task could have been more generically named like connect.task to make it a little more re-usable. Closes #9474
