e2e: Windows provisioning improvements (#9246)
Small changes to the Windows 2016 Packer build for debuggability of
provisioning:

* improve verbosity of powershell error handling
* remove unused "tools" installation
* use ssh communicator for Packer to improve Packer build times and eliminate
  deprecated winrm remote access (unavailable from current macOS)

E2E: switch packer build files to HCL2 (#9219)
Build configuration files need comments, and JSON is also just the worst, isn't it?
Upgrade our E2E packer configs to use the new HCL2 syntax.

e2e: use more specific names for OS/distros (#9204)
We intend to expand the nightly E2E test to cover multiple distros and
platforms. Change the naming structure for "Linux client" to the more precise
"Ubuntu Bionic", and "Windows" to "Windows 2016" to make it easier to add new
targets without additional refactoring.

Infrastructure for Windows e2e testing (#6584)
Includes:
* baseline Windows AMI
* initial pass at Terraform configurations
* OpenSSH for Windows

Using OpenSSH is a lot nicer for Nomad developers than winrm would be,
plus it lets us avoid passing around the Windows password in the
clear.

Note that now we're copying up all the provisioning scripts and
configs as a zipped bundle because TF's file provisioner dies in the
middle of pushing up multiple files (whereas `scp -r` works fine).

We're also running all the provisioning scripts inside the userdata by
polling for the zip file to show up (gross!). This is because
`remote-exec` provisioners are failing on Windows with the same symptoms as:

https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/17728

If we can't fix this, it'll prevent us from having multiple Windows
clients running until TF supports count interpolation in the
`template_file`, which is planned for a later 0.12 release.

e2e: split Packer build scripts from TF provisioning (#6542)
Make a clear split between Packer and Terraform provisioning steps:
the scripts in the `packer/linux` directory are run when we build the
AMI whereas the stuff in shared are run at Terraform provisioning time.

Merging all runtime provisioning scripts into a single script for each
of server/client solves the following:

* Userdata scripts can't take arguments, they can only be templated
  and that means we have to do TF escaping in bash/powershell scripts.
* TF provisioning scripts race with userdata scripts.
