This field was never user-configurable. We always overwrote the value with 120s from
NonUserSource. However, we also never copied the value from RuntimeConfig to consul.Config,
So the value in NonUserSource was always ignored, and we used the default value of 30s
set by consul.DefaultConfig.
All of this code is an unnecessary distraction because a user can not actually configure
this value.
This commit removes the fields and uses a constant value instad. Someone attempting to set
acl.disabled_ttl in their config will now get an error about an unknown field, but previously
the value was completely ignored, so the new behaviour seems more correct.
We have to keep this field in the AutoConfig response for backwards compatibility, but the value
will be ignored by the client, so it doesn't really matter what value we set.
Most of the groundwork was laid in previous PRs between adding the cert-monitor package to extracting the logic of signing certificates out of the connect_ca_endpoint.go code and into a method on the server.
This also refactors the auto-config package a bit to split things out into multiple files.
There are a couple of things in here.
First, just like auto encrypt, any Cluster.AutoConfig RPC will implicitly use the less secure RPC mechanism.
This drastically modifies how the Consul Agent starts up and moves most of the responsibilities (other than signal handling) from the cli command and into the Agent.
