Add some tests to ensure that api/structs values are in sync.
Given that vendoring libraries prune tests by default, test dependencies
aren't leaked to clients of the package - so it should be safe to add
such dependency without affecting api clients.
Given that the values will rarely change, specially considering that any
changes would be backward incompatible change. As such, it's simpler to
keep syncing manually in the rare occasion and avoid the syncing code
overhead.
Embed pointer conversion functions in the API package to avoid
unnecessary package dependency. `helper` package imports more
dependencies relevant for internal use (e.g. `hcl`).
nomad/structs is an internal package and imports many libraries (e.g.
raft, codec) that are not relevant to api clients, and may cause
unnecessary dependency pain (e.g. `github.com/ugorji/go/codec`
version is very old now).
Here, we add a code generator that imports the relevant constants from
`nomad/structs`.
I considered using this approach for other structs, but didn't find a
quick viable way to reduce duplication. `nomad/structs` use values as
struct fields (e.g. `string`), while `api` uses value pointer (e.g.
`*string`) instead. Also, sometimes, `api` structs contain deprecated
fields or additional documentation, so simple copy-paste doesn't work.
For these reasons, I opt to keep the status quo.
Track current memory usage, `memory.usage_in_bytes`, in addition to
`memory.max_memory_usage_in_bytes` and friends. This number is closer
what Docker reports.

The whole approach to monitoring drains has ordering issues and lacks
state to output useful error messages.
AFAICT to get the tests passing reliably I needed to change the behavior
of monitoring.
Parts of these tests are skipped in CI, and they should be rewritten as
e2e tests.
IOPS have been modelled as a resource since Nomad 0.1 but has never
actually been detected and there is no plan in the short term to add
detection. This is because IOPS is a bit simplistic of a unit to define
the performance requirements from the underlying storage system. In its
current state it adds unnecessary confusion and can be removed without
impacting any users. This PR leaves IOPS defined at the jobspec parsing
level and in the api/ resources since these are the two public uses of
the field. These should be considered deprecated and only exist to allow
users to stop using them during the Nomad 0.9.x release. In the future,
there should be no expectation that the field will exist.
This change makes few compromises:
* Looks up the devices associated with tasks at look up time. Given
that `nomad alloc status` is called rarely generally (compared to stats
telemetry and general job reporting), it seems fine. However, the
lookup overhead grows bounded by number of `tasks x total-host-devices`,
which can be significant.
* `client.Client` performs the task devices->statistics lookup. It
passes self to alloc/task runners so they can look up the device statistics
allocated to them.
* Currently alloc/task runners are responsible for constructing the
entire RPC response for stats
* The alternatives for making task runners device statistics aware
don't seem appealing (e.g. having task runners contain reference to hostStats)
* On the alloc aggregation resource usage, I did a naive merging of task device statistics.
* Personally, I question the value of such aggregation, compared to
costs of struct duplication and bloating the response - but opted to be
consistent in the API.
* With naive concatination, device instances from a single device group used by separate tasks in the alloc, would be aggregated in two separate device group statistics.
