Mesh gateways can use hostnames in their tagged addresses (#7999). This is useful
if you were to expose a mesh gateway using a cloud networking load balancer appliance
that gives you a DNS name but no reliable static IPs.
Envoy cannot accept hostnames via EDS and those must be configured using CDS.
There was already logic when configuring gateways in other locations in the code, but
given the illusions in play for peering the downstream of a peered service wasn't aware
that it should be doing that.
Also:
- ensuring that we always try to use wan-like addresses to cross peer boundaries.

It replaces the proxycfg manager's direct dependency on the agent cache
with interfaces that will be implemented differently when serving xDS
sessions from a Consul server.
OSS portion of enterprise PR 1857.
This removes (most) references to the `cache.UpdateEvent` type in the
`proxycfg` package.
As we're going to be direct usage of the agent cache with interfaces that
can be satisfied by alternative server-local datasources, it doesn't make
sense to depend on this type everywhere anymore (particularly on the
`state.ch` channel).
We also plan to extract `proxycfg` out of Consul into a shared library in
the future, which would require removing this dependency.
Aside from a fairly rote find-and-replace, the main change is that the
`cache.Cache` and `health.Client` types now accept a callback function
parameter, rather than a `chan<- cache.UpdateEvents`. This allows us to
do the type conversion without running another goroutine.
- `tls.incoming`: applies to the inbound mTLS targeting the public
listener on `connect-proxy` and `terminating-gateway` envoy instances
- `tls.outgoing`: applies to the outbound mTLS dialing upstreams from
`connect-proxy` and `ingress-gateway` envoy instances
Fixes#11966
Transparent proxies typically cannot dial upstreams in remote
datacenters. However, if their upstream configures a redirect to a
remote DC then the upstream targets will be in another datacenter.
In that sort of case we should use the WAN address for the passthrough.
Due to timing, a transparent proxy could have two upstreams to dial
directly with the same address.
For example:
- The orders service can dial upstreams shipping and payment directly.
- An instance of shipping at address 10.0.0.1 is deregistered.
- Payments is scaled up and scheduled to have address 10.0.0.1.
- The orders service receives the event for the new payments instance
before seeing the deregistration for the shipping instance. At this
point two upstreams have the same passthrough address and Envoy will
reject the listener configuration.
To disambiguate this commit considers the Raft index when storing
passthrough addresses. In the example above, 10.0.0.1 would only be
associated with the newer payments service instance.
Transparent proxies can set up filter chains that allow direct
connections to upstream service instances. Services that can be dialed
directly are stored in the PassthroughUpstreams map of the proxycfg
snapshot.
Previously these addresses were not being cleaned up based on new
service health data. The list of addresses associated with an upstream
service would only ever grow.
As services scale up and down, eventually they will have instances
assigned to an IP that was previously assigned to a different service.
When IP addresses are duplicated across filter chain match rules the
listener config will be rejected by Envoy.
This commit updates the proxycfg snapshot management so that passthrough
addresses can get cleaned up when no longer associated with a given
upstream.
There is still the possibility of a race condition here where due to
timing an address is shared between multiple passthrough upstreams.
That concern is mitigated by #12195, but will be further addressed
in a follow-up.
The gist here is that now we use a value-type struct proxycfg.UpstreamID
as the map key in ConfigSnapshot maps where we used to use "upstream
id-ish" strings. These are internal only and used just for bidirectional
trips through the agent cache keyspace (like the discovery chain target
struct).
For the few places where the upstream id needs to be projected into xDS,
that's what (proxycfg.UpstreamID).EnvoyID() is for. This lets us ALWAYS
inject the partition and namespace into these things without making
stuff like the golden testdata diverge.
Previously the datacenter of the gateway was the key identifier, now it
is the datacenter and partition.
When dialing services in other partitions or datacenters we now watch
the appropriate partition.
There is no interaction between these handlers, so splitting them into separate files
makes it easier to discover the full implementation of each kindHandler.
