This PR causes the logmon task runner to acquire the binary of the
Nomad executable in an 'init' block, so as to almost certainly get
the name while the nomad file still exists.
This is an attempt at fixing the case where a deleted Nomad file
(e.g. during upgrade) may be getting renamed with a mysterious
suffix first.
If this doesn't work, as a last resort we can literally just trim
the mystery string.
Fixes: #14079
Currently, nomad "plugin" processes (e.g. executor, logmon, docker_logger) are started as CLI
commands to be handled by command CLI framework. Plugin launchers use
`discover.NomadBinary()` to identify the binary and start it.
This has few downsides: The trivial one is that when running tests, one
must re-compile the nomad binary as the tests need to invoke the nomad
executable to start plugin. This is frequently overlooked, resulting in
puzzlement.
The more significant issue with `executor` in particular is in relation
to external driver:
* Plugin must identify the path of invoking nomad binary, which is not
trivial; `discvoer.NomadBinary()` now returns the path to the plugin
rather than to nomad, preventing external drivers from launching
executors.
* The external driver may get a different version of executor than it
expects (specially if we make a binary incompatible change in future).
This commit addresses both downside by having the plugin invocation
handling through an `init()` call, similar to how libcontainer init
handler is done in [1] and recommened by libcontainer [2]. `init()`
will be invoked and handled properly in tests and external drivers.
For external drivers, this change will cause external drivers to launch
the executor that's compiled against.
There a are a couple of downsides to this approach:
* These specific packages (i.e executor, logmon, and dockerlog) need to
be careful in use of `init()`, package initializers. Must avoid having
command execution rely on any other init in the package. I prefixed
files with `z_` (golang processes files in lexical order), but ensured
we don't depend on order.
* The command handling is spread in multiple packages making it a bit
less obvious how plugin starts are handled.

There were multiple bugs here:
1. Reattach unmarshalling always returned an error because you can't
unmarshal into a nil pointer.
2. The hook data wasn't being saved because it was put on the request
struct, not the response struct.
3. The plugin configuration should only have reattach *or* a command
set. Not both.
4. Setting Done=true meant the hook was never re-run on agent restart so
reattaching was never attempted.
