// translateAgentConfig is meant to take in a proto/pbconfig.Config type
// and craft the corresponding agent/config.Config type. The need for this function
// should eventually be removed with the protobuf and normal version converging.
// In the meantime, its not desirable to have the flatter Config struct in protobufs
// as in the long term we want a configuration with more nested groupings.
//
// Why is this function not in the proto/pbconfig package? The answer, that
// package cannot import the agent/config package without running into import cycles.
//
// If this function is meant to output an agent/config.Config then why does it output
// a map[string]interface{}? The answer is that our config and command line option
// parsing is messed up and it would require major changes to fix (we probably should
// do them but not for the auto-config feature). To understand this we need to work
// backwards. What we want to be able to do is persist the config settings from an
// auto-config response configuration to disk. We then want that configuration
// to be able to be parsed with the normal configuration parser/builder. It sort of was
// working with returning a filled out agent/config.Config but the problem was that
// the struct has a lot of non-pointer struct members. Thus, JSON serializtion caused
// these to always be emitted even if they contained no non-empty fields. The
// configuration would then seem to parse okay, but in OSS we would get warnings for
// setting a bunch of enterprise fields like "audit" at the top level. In an attempt
// to quiet those warnings, I had converted all the existing non-pointer struct fields
// to pointers. Then there were issues with the builder code expecting concrete values.
// I could add nil checks **EVERYWHERE** in builder.go or take a different approach.
// I then made a function utilizing github.com/mitchellh/reflectwalk to un-nil all the
// struct pointers after parsing to prevent any nil pointer dereferences. At first
// glance this seemed like it was going to work but then I saw that nearly all of the
// tests in runtime_test.go were failing. The first issues was that we were not merging
// pointers to struct fields properly. It was simply taking the new pointer if non-nil
// and defaulting to the original. So I updated that code, to properly merge pointers
// to structs. That fixed a bunch of tests but then there was another issue with
// the runtime tests where it was emitting warnings for using consul enterprise only
// configuration. After spending some time tracking this down it turns out that it
// was coming from our CLI option parsing. Our CLI option parsing works by filling
// in a agent/config.Config struct. Along the way when converting to pointers to
// structs I had to add a call to that function to un-nil various pointers to prevent
// the CLI from segfaulting. However this un-nil operation was causing the various
// enterprise only keys to be materialized. Thus we were back to where we were before
// the conversion to pointers to structs and mostly stuck.
//
// Therefore, this function will create a map[string]interface{} that should be
// compatible with the agent/config.Config struct but where we can more tightly
// control which fields are output. Its not a nice solution. It has a non-trivial
// maintenance burden. In the long run we should unify the protobuf Config and
// the normal agent/config.Config so that we can just serialize the protobuf version
// without any translation. For now, this hack is necessary :(
