* Connect: Fix Envoy getting stuck during load
Also in this PR:
- Enabled outlier detection on upstreams which will mark instances unhealthy after 5 failures (using Envoy's defaults)
- Enable weighted load balancing where DNS weights are configured
* Fix empty load assignments in the right place
* Fix import names from review
* Move millisecond parse to a helper function
- the space after `=` is significant in sc parameters (binPath= "<path> <args>, start= auto)
- given the text "the service automatically starts up during/after boot", added `start= auto` to
the example, otherwise the service will be set to Manual start mode.
* Make Connect health queryies unblock correctly in all cases and use optimal number of watch chans. Fixes#5506.
* Node check test cases and clearer bug test doc
* Comment update
* Added a note to GCE auto-join credentials option
Simply added a note to remind users that putting a json file in the config-dir will make consul parse it as a config file.
Hope to help someone else avoid wasting a day because of these errors:
==> Error parsing /etc/consul.d/credentials.json: 10 error(s) occurred: * invalid config key private_key
* Updated according to style guidelines

Refs #4984.
Watching chans for every node we touch in a health query is wasteful. In #4984 it shows that if there are more than 682 service instances we always fallback to watching all services which kills performance.
We already have a record in MemDB that is reliably update whenever the service health result should change thanks to per-service watch indexes.
So in general, provided there is at least one service instances and we actually have a service index for it (we always do now) we only ever need to watch a single channel.
This saves us from ever falling back to the general index and causing the performance cliff in #4984, but it also means fewer goroutines and work done for every blocking health query.
It also saves some allocations made during the query because we no longer have to populate a WatchSet with 3 chans per service instance which saves the internal map allocation.
This passes all state store tests except the one that explicitly checked for the fallback behaviour we've now optimized away and in general seems safe.

acl: reduce complexity of token resolution process with alternative singleflighting
Switches acl resolution to use golang.org/x/sync/singleflight. For the
identity/legacy lookups this is a drop-in replacement with the same
overall approach to request coalescing.
For policies this is technically a change in behavior, but when
considered holistically is approximately performance neutral (with the
benefit of less code).
There are two goals with this blob of code (speaking specifically of
policy resolution here):
1) Minimize cross-DC requests.
2) Minimize client-to-server LAN requests.
The previous iteration of this code was optimizing for the case of many
possibly different tokens being resolved concurrently that have a
significant overlap in linked policies such that deduplication would be
worth the complexity. While this is laudable there are some things to
consider that can help to adjust expectations:
1) For v1.4+ policies are always replicated, and once a single policy
shows up in a secondary DC the replicated data is considered
authoritative for requests made in that DC. This means that our
earlier concerns about minimizing cross-DC requests are irrelevant
because there will be no cross-DC policy reads that occur.
2) For Server nodes the in-memory ACL policy cache is capped at zero,
meaning it has no caching. Only Client nodes run with a cache. This
means that instead of having an entire DC's worth of tokens (what a
Server might see) that can have policy resolutions coalesced these
nodes will only ever be seeing node-local token resolutions. In a
reasonable worst-case scenario where a scheduler like Kubernetes has
"filled" a node with Connect services, even that will only schedule
~100 connect services per node. If every service has a unique token
there will only be 100 tokens to coalesce and even then those requests
have to occur concurrently AND be hitting an empty consul cache.
Instead of seeing a great coalescing opportunity for cutting down on
redundant Policy resolutions, in practice it's far more likely given
node densities that you'd see requests for the same token concurrently
than you would for two tokens sharing a policy concurrently (to a degree
that would warrant the overhead of the current variation of
singleflighting.
Given that, this patch switches the Policy resolution process to only
singleflight by requesting token (but keeps the cache as by-policy).
This PR introduces reloading tls configuration. Consul will now be able to reload the TLS configuration which previously required a restart. It is not yet possible to turn TLS ON or OFF with these changes. Only when TLS is already turned on, the configuration can be reloaded. Most importantly the certificates and CAs.
