Previously, we'd begin a session with the xDS concurrency limiter
regardless of whether the proxy was registered in the catalog or in
the server's local agent state.
This caused problems for users who run `consul connect envoy` directly
against a server rather than a client agent, as the server's locally
registered proxies wouldn't be included in the limiter's capacity.
Now, the `ConfigSource` is responsible for beginning the session and we
only do so for services in the catalog.

* 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
Fixes a bug introduced by #15346 where we'd always require an ACL
token even if ACLs were disabled because we were erroneously
treating `nil` identity as anonymous.
Adds automation for generating the map of `gRPC Method Name → Rate Limit Type`
used by the middleware introduced in #15550, and will ensure we don't forget
to add new endpoints.
Engineers must annotate their RPCs in the proto file like so:
```
rpc Foo(FooRequest) returns (FooResponse) {
option (consul.internal.ratelimit.spec) = {
operation_type: READ,
};
}
```
When they run `make proto` a protoc plugin `protoc-gen-consul-rate-limit` will
be installed that writes rate-limit specs as a JSON array to a file called
`.ratelimit.tmp` (one per protobuf package/directory).
After running Buf, `make proto` will execute a post-process script that will
ingest all of the `.ratelimit.tmp` files and generate a Go file containing the
mappings in the `agent/grpc-middleware` package. In the enterprise repository,
it will write an additional file with the enterprise-only endpoints.
If an engineer forgets to add the annotation to a new RPC, the plugin will
return an error like so:
```
RPC Foo is missing rate-limit specification, fix it with:
import "proto-public/annotations/ratelimit/ratelimit.proto";
service Bar {
rpc Foo(...) returns (...) {
option (hashicorp.consul.internal.ratelimit.spec) = {
operation_type: OPERATION_READ | OPERATION_WRITE | OPERATION_EXEMPT,
};
}
}
```
In the future, this annotation can be extended to support rate-limit
category (e.g. KV vs Catalog) and to determine the retry policy.
Previously, these endpoints required `service:write` permission on _any_
service as a sort of proxy for "is the caller allowed to participate in
the mesh?".
Now, they're called as part of the process of establishing a server
connection by any consumer of the consul-server-connection-manager
library, which will include non-mesh workloads (e.g. Consul KV as a
storage backend for Vault) as well as ancillary components such as
consul-k8s' acl-init process, which likely won't have `service:write`
permission.
So this commit relaxes those requirements to accept *any* valid ACL token
on the following gRPC endpoints:
- `hashicorp.consul.dataplane.DataplaneService/GetSupportedDataplaneFeatures`
- `hashicorp.consul.serverdiscovery.ServerDiscoveryService/WatchServers`
- `hashicorp.consul.connectca.ConnectCAService/WatchRoots`

Implements the gRPC middleware for rate-limiting as a tap.ServerInHandle
function (executed before the request is unmarshaled).
Mappings between gRPC methods and their operation type are generated by
a protoc plugin introduced by #15564.
During peer stream replication we flatten checks from the source cluster and build one thin overall check to hide the irrelevant details from the consuming cluster. This flattening logic did correctly flip to non-passing if there were any non-passing checks, but WHICH status it got during that was random (warn/error).
Also it didn't represent "maintenance" operations. There is an api package call AggregatedStatus which more correctly flattened check statuses.
This PR replicated the more complete logic into the peer stream package.
Previously, the MergeNodeServiceWithCentralConfig method accepted a
ServiceSpecificRequest argument, of which only the Datacenter and
QueryOptions fields were used.
Digging a little deeper, it turns out these fields were only passed
down to the ComputeResolvedServiceConfig method (through the
ServiceConfigRequest struct) which didn't actually use them.
As such, not all call-sites passed a valid ServiceSpecificRequest
so it's safer to remove the argument altogether to prevent future
changes from depending on it.

This commit adds a monotonically increasing nonce to include in peering
replication response messages. Every ack/nack from the peer handling a
response will include this nonce, allowing to correlate the ack/nack
with a specific resource.
At the moment nothing is done with the nonce when it is received. In the
future we may want to add functionality such as retries on NACKs,
depending on the class of error.

This commit adds handling so that the replication stream considers
whether the user intends to peer through mesh gateways.
The subscription will return server or mesh gateway addresses depending
on the mesh configuration setting. These watches can be updated at
runtime by modifying the mesh config entry.
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.
