Adds debug and warn logging around AWS credential chain generation,
specifically to help users debugging auto-unseal problems on AWS, by
logging which role is being used in the case of a webidentity token.
Adds a deferred call to flush the log output as well, to ensure logs
are output in the event of an initialization failure.
Fix some places where raft wasn't hooking into the core logger as it should.
Revisited the code that was setting the log level to Error during cleanup: it's normal for there to be a bunch of errors then, which makes it harder to see what went wrong up to the point where the test was deemed to have failed. So now, instead of setting log level to Error, we actually stop logging altogether. This only applies if the test didn't pass in its own logger during cluster creation, but we should be moving away from that anyway.
* physical/spanner: use separate client for updating locks
We believe this mitigates an issue where a large influx of requests
cause the leader to be unable to update the lock table (since it cannot
grab a client from the pool or the client has no more open connections),
which causes cascading failure.

* Remove marking as unsealed as its not needed
* Address review comments
* Accept only one seal config in recovery mode as there is no scope for migration
* Store less data in Cassandra prefix buckets
The Cassandra physical backend relies on storing data for sys/foo/bar
under sys, sys/foo, and sys/foo/bar. This is necessary so that we
can list the sys bucket, get a list of all child keys, and then trim
this down to find child 'folders' eg food. Right now however, we store
the full value of every storage entry in all three buckets. This is
unnecessary as the value will only ever be read out in the leaf bucket
ie sys/foo/bar. We use the intermediary buckets simply for listing keys.
We have seen some issues around compaction where certain buckets,
particularly intermediary buckets that are exclusively for listing,
get really clogged up with data to the point of not being listable.
Buckets like sys/expire/id are huge, combining lease expiry data for
all auth methods, and need to be listed for vault to successfully
become leader. This PR tries to cut down on the amount of data stored
in intermediary buckets.
* Avoid goroutine leak by buffering results channel up to the bucket count
its timeout from 5s to 15s in the hopes that helps. The theory is that
since I haven't seen this on the OSS side, it's failing because the ent
side is heavier in terms of test load and thus the tests face more
resource contention.

Make lock2's retryInterval smaller so it grabs the lock as soon as lock1's renewer fails to renew in time. Fix the logic to test if lock1's leader channel gets closed: we don't need a goroutine, and
the logic was broken in that if we timed out we'd never write to the blocking channel we then try to read from. Moreover the timeout was wrong.
* Port over some SP v2 bits
Specifically:
* Add too-large handling to Physical (Consul only for now)
* Contextify some identity funcs
* Update SP protos
* Add size limiting to inmem storage
* Exit DynamoDB tryToLock when stop channel is closed
If the stop channel is closed (e.g. an error is returned which triggers
close(stop) in Lock), this loop will spin and use 100% CPU.
* Ensure ticker is stopped
Merge both functions for creating mongodb containers into one.
Add retries to docker container cleanups.
Require $VAULT_ACC be set to enable AWS tests.
* Configurable lock and request etcd timeouts.
If etcd cluster placed on slow servers - request timeouts may be much greater, then hardcoded default values.
Also, in etcd setup, like above - may be need to greater lock timeout.
* Configurable lock and request etcd timeouts.
Docs.
* Use user friendly timeout syntax.
To allow specify more readable time values.
The result will still pass gofmtcheck and won't trigger additional
changes if someone isn't using goimports, but it will avoid the
piecemeal imports changes we've been seeing.
* Fix typo in documentation
* Update fdb-go-install.sh for new release tags
* Exclude FoundationDB bindings from vendoring, delete vendored copy
FoundationDB bindings are tightly coupled to the server version and
client library version used in a specific deployment. Bindings need
to be installed using the fdb-go-install.sh script, as documented in
the foundationdb backend documentation.

TLS support appeared in FoundationDB 5.2.4, raising the minimum API version
for TLS-aware FoundationDB code to 520.

* Bug in handling of postgres connection url for non docker testing
* Test should fail if it cannot retrieve pg version
* internal helperfunctions pascalCasing
We're having issues with leases in the GCS backend storage being
corrupted and failing MAC checking. When that happens, we need to know
the lease ID so we can address the corruption by hand and take
appropriate action.
This will hopefully prevent any instances of incomplete data being sent
to GSS
