Vault will now register itself with Consul. The active node can be found using `active.vault.service.consul`. All standby vaults are available via `standby.vault.service.consul`. All unsealed vaults are considered healthy and available via `vault.service.consul`. Change in status and registration is event driven and should happen at the speed of a write to Consul (~network RTT + ~1x fsync(2)).
