In some situations, it can be impossible to revoke leases (for instance,
if someone has gone and manually removed users created by Vault). This
can not only cause Vault to cycle trying to revoke them, but it also
prevents mounts from being unmounted, leaving them in a tainted state
where the only operations allowed are to revoke (or rollback), which
will never successfully complete.
This adds a new endpoint that works similarly to `revoke-prefix` but
ignores errors coming from a backend upon revocation (it does not ignore
errors coming from within the expiration manager, such as errors
accessing the data store). This can be used to force Vault to abandon
leases.
Like `revoke-prefix`, this is a very sensitive operation and requires
`sudo`. It is implemented as a separate endpoint, rather than an
argument to `revoke-prefix`, to ensure that control can be delegated
appropriately, as even most administrators should not normally have
this privilege.

This endpoint causes the node it's hit to step down from active duty.
It's a noop if the node isn't active or not running in HA mode. The node
will wait one second before attempting to reacquire the lock, to give
other nodes a chance to grab it.

When working on the Terraform / Vault integration I came across the fact
that `Sys().MountConfig(...)` didn't seem to return a response struct,
even though it's a `GET` method.
Looks like just a simple oversight to me. This fix does break API BC,
but the method had no use without its return value so I feel like that's
probably a mitigating factor.
backends for the moment. This is pretty simple; it just adds the actual
capability to make a list call into both the CLI and the HTTP handler.
The real meat was already in those backends.
with a new endpoint '/sys/audit-hash', which returns the given input
string hashed with the given audit backend's hash function and salt
(currently, always HMAC-SHA256 and a backend-specific salt).
In the process of adding the HTTP handler, this also removes the custom
HTTP handlers for the other audit endpoints, which were simply
forwarding to the logical system backend. This means that the various
audit functions will now redirect correctly from a standby to master.
(Tests all pass.)

This allows the same environment variables to be read, parsed, and used
from any API client as was previously handled in the CLI. The CLI now
uses the API environment variable reading capability, then overrides any
values from command line flags, if necessary.
