Registering gRPC balancers is thread-unsafe because they are stored in a
global map variable that is accessed without holding a lock. Therefore,
it's expected that balancers are registered _once_ at the beginning of
your program (e.g. in a package `init` function) and certainly not after
you've started dialing connections, etc.

While this is fine for us in production, it's challenging for tests that
spin up multiple agents in-memory. We currently register a balancer per-
agent which holds agent-specific state that cannot safely be shared.
This commit introduces our own registry that _is_ thread-safe, and
implements the Builder interface such that we can call gRPC's `Register`
method once, on start-up. It uses the same pattern as our resolver
registry where we use the dial target's host (aka "authority"), which is
unique per-agent, to determine which builder to use.
Protobuf Refactoring for Multi-Module Cleanliness
This commit includes the following:
Moves all packages that were within proto/ to proto/private
Rewrites imports to account for the packages being moved
Adds in buf.work.yaml to enable buf workspaces
Names the proto-public buf module so that we can override the Go package imports within proto/buf.yaml
Bumps the buf version dependency to 1.14.0 (I was trying out the version to see if it would get around an issue - it didn't but it also doesn't break things and it seemed best to keep up with the toolchain changes)
Why:
In the future we will need to consume other protobuf dependencies such as the Google HTTP annotations for openapi generation or grpc-gateway usage.
There were some recent changes to have our own ratelimiting annotations.
The two combined were not working when I was trying to use them together (attempting to rebase another branch)
Buf workspaces should be the solution to the problem
Buf workspaces means that each module will have generated Go code that embeds proto file names relative to the proto dir and not the top level repo root.
This resulted in proto file name conflicts in the Go global protobuf type registry.
The solution to that was to add in a private/ directory into the path within the proto/ directory.
That then required rewriting all the imports.
Is this safe?
AFAICT yes
The gRPC wire protocol doesn't seem to care about the proto file names (although the Go grpc code does tack on the proto file name as Metadata in the ServiceDesc)
Other than imports, there were no changes to any generated code as a result of this.
Enforce lowercase peer names.
Prior to this change peer names could be mixed case.
This can cause issues, as peer names are used as DNS labels
in various locations. It also caused issues with envoy
configuration.
* Protobuf Modernization
Remove direct usage of golang/protobuf in favor of google.golang.org/protobuf
Marshallers (protobuf and json) needed some changes to account for different APIs.
Moved to using the google.golang.org/protobuf/types/known/* for the well known types including replacing some custom Struct manipulation with whats available in the structpb well known type package.
This also updates our devtools script to install protoc-gen-go from the right location so that files it generates conform to the correct interfaces.
* Fix go-mod-tidy make target to work on all modules
This is the OSS portion of enterprise PR 3822.
Adds a custom gRPC balancer that replicates the router's server cycling
behavior. Also enables automatic retries for RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED errors,
which we now get for free.

function (executed before the request is unmarshaled).
Mappings between gRPC methods and their operation type are generated by
a protoc plugin introduced by #15564.

Re-add ServerExternalAddresses parameter in GenerateToken endpoint

This commit updates the establish endpoint to bubble up a 403 status
code to callers when the establishment secret from the token is invalid.
This is a signal that a new peering token must be generated.
When peering through mesh gateways we expect outbound dials to peer
servers to flow through the local mesh gateway addresses.
Now when establishing a peering we get a list of dial addresses as a
ring buffer that includes local mesh gateway addresses if the local DC
is configured to peer through mesh gateways. The ring buffer includes
the mesh gateway addresses first, but also includes the remote server
addresses as a fallback.
This fallback is present because it's possible that direct egress from
the servers may be allowed. If not allowed then the leader will cycle
back to a mesh gateway address through the ring.
When attempting to dial the remote servers we retry up to a fixed
timeout. If using mesh gateways we also have an initial wait in
order to allow for the mesh gateways to configure themselves.
Note that if we encounter a permission denied error we do not retry
since that error indicates that the secret in the peering token is
invalid.

A previous commit introduced an internally-managed server certificate
to use for peering-related purposes.
Now the peering token has been updated to match that behavior:
- The server name matches the structure of the server cert
- The CA PEMs correspond to the Connect CA
Note that if Conect is disabled, and by extension the Connect CA, we
fall back to the previous behavior of returning the manually configured
certs and local server SNI.
Several tests were updated to use the gRPC TLS port since they enable
Connect by default. This means that the peering token will embed the
Connect CA, and the dialer will expect a TLS listener.
Prior to #13244, connect proxies and gateways could only be configured by an
xDS session served by the local client agent.
In an upcoming release, it will be possible to deploy a Consul service mesh
without client agents. In this model, xDS sessions will be handled by the
servers themselves, which necessitates load-balancing to prevent a single
server from receiving a disproportionate amount of load and becoming
overwhelmed.
This introduces a simple form of load-balancing where Consul will attempt to
achieve an even spread of load (xDS sessions) between all healthy servers.
It does so by implementing a concurrent session limiter (limiter.SessionLimiter)
and adjusting the limit according to autopilot state and proxy service
registrations in the catalog.
If a server is already over capacity (i.e. the session limit is lowered),
Consul will begin draining sessions to rebalance the load. This will result
in the client receiving a `RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED` status code. It is the client's
responsibility to observe this response and reconnect to a different server.
Users of the gRPC client connection brokered by the
consul-server-connection-manager library will get this for free.
The rate at which Consul will drain sessions to rebalance load is scaled
dynamically based on the number of proxies in the catalog.
Peerings are terminated when a peer decides to delete the peering from
their end. Deleting a peering sends a termination message to the peer
and triggers them to mark the peering as terminated but does NOT delete
the peering itself. This is to prevent peerings from disappearing from
both sides just because one side deleted them.
Previously the Delete endpoint was skipping the deletion if the peering
was not marked as active. However, terminated peerings are also
inactive.
This PR makes some updates so that peerings marked as terminated can be
deleted by users.
We need to watch for changes to peerings and update the server addresses which get served by the ring buffer.
Also, if there is an active connection for a peer, we are getting up-to-date server addresses from the replication stream and can safely ignore the token's addresses which may be stale.
Previously there was a field indicating the operation that triggered a
secrets write. Now there is a message for each operation and it contains
the secret ID being persisted.
Previously the updates to the peering secrets UUID table relied on
inferring what action triggered the update based on a reconciliation
against the existing secrets.
Instead we now explicitly require the operation to be given so that the
inference isn't necessary. This makes the UUID table logic easier to
reason about and fixes some related bugs.
There is also an update so that the peering secrets get handled on
snapshots/restores.
Dialers do not keep track of peering secret UUIDs, so they should not
attempt to clean up data from that table when their peering is deleted.
We also now keep peer server addresses when marking peerings for
deletion. Peer server addresses are used by the ShouldDial() helper
when determining whether the peering is for a dialer or an acceptor.
We need to keep this data so that peering secrets can be cleaned up
accordingly.
* defaulting to false because peering will be released as beta
* Ignore peering disabled error in bundles cachetype
