Executor seems to die unexpectedly after nomad agent dies or is
restarted. The crash seems to occur at the first log message after
the nomad agent dies.
To ease debugging we forward executor log messages to executor.log as
well as to Stderr. `go-plugin` sets up plugins with Stderr pointing to
a pipe being read by plugin client, the nomad agent in our case[1].
When the nomad agent dies, the pipe is closed, and any subsequent
executor logs fail with ErrClosedPipe and SIGPIPE signal. SIGPIPE
results into executor process dying.
I considered adding a handler to ignore SIGPIPE, but hc-log library
currently panics when logging write operation fails[2]
This we opt to revert to v0.8 behavior of exclusively writing logs to
executor.log, while we investigate alternative options.

This adds a `nomad alloc stop` command that can be used to stop and
force migrate an allocation to a different node.
This is built on top of the AllocUpdateDesiredTransitionRequest and
explicitly limits the scope of access to that transition to expose it
under the alloc-lifecycle ACL.
The API returns the follow up eval that can be used as part of
monitoring in the CLI or parsed and used in an external tool.
Noticed that `detected drivers` log line was misleading - when a driver
doesn't fingerprint before timeout, their health status is empty string
`""` which we would mark as detected.
Now, we log all drivers along with their state to ease driver
fingerprint debugging.
I noticed that `watchNodeUpdates()` almost immediately after
`registerAndHeartbeat()` calls `retryRegisterNode()`, well after 5
seconds.
This call is unnecessary and made debugging a bit harder. So here, we
ensure that we only re-register node for new node events, not for
initial registration.
Here we retain 0.8.7 behavior of waiting for driver fingerprints before
registering a node, with some timeout. This is needed for system jobs,
as system job scheduling for node occur at node registration, and the
race might mean that a system job may not get placed on the node because
of missing drivers.
The timeout isn't strictly necessary, but raising it to 1 minute as it's
closer to indefinitely blocked than 1 second. We need to keep the value
high enough to capture as much drivers/devices, but low enough that
doesn't risk blocking too long due to misbehaving plugin.
