UI: Removes success notification on faking a success response for `self` (#4906)
In order to continue supporting the legacy ACL system, we replace
the 500 error from a non-existent `self` endpoint with a response of a
`null` `AccessorID` - which makes sense (a null AccessorID means old
API)

We then redirect the user to the old ACL pages which then gives a 403
if their token was wrong which then redirects them back to the login page.

Due to the multiple redirects and not wanting to test the validity of the token
before redirecting (thus calling the same API endpoint twice), it is not
straightforwards to turn the 'faked' response from the `self` endpoint
into an error (flash messages are 'lost' through multiple redirects).

In order to make this a slightly better experience, you can now return a
`false` during execution of an action requiring success/failure
feedback, this essentially skips the notification, so if the action is
'successful' but you don't want to show the notification, you can. This
resolves showing a successful notification when the `self` endpoint
response is faked. The last part of the puzzle is to make sure that the
global 403 catching error in the application Route also produces an
erroneous notification.

Please note this can only happen with a ui client using the new ACL
system when communicating with a cluster using the old ACL system, and
only when you enter the wrong token.

Lastly, further acceptance tests have been added around this

This commit also adds functionality to avoid any possible double 
notification messages, to avoid UI overlapping

Consul Build Status Join the chat at https://gitter.im/hashicorp-consul/Lobby

Consul is a tool for service discovery and configuration. Consul is distributed, highly available, and extremely scalable.

Consul provides several key features:

  • Service Discovery - Consul makes it simple for services to register themselves and to discover other services via a DNS or HTTP interface. External services such as SaaS providers can be registered as well.

  • Health Checking - Health Checking enables Consul to quickly alert operators about any issues in a cluster. The integration with service discovery prevents routing traffic to unhealthy hosts and enables service level circuit breakers.

  • Key/Value Storage - A flexible key/value store enables storing dynamic configuration, feature flagging, coordination, leader election and more. The simple HTTP API makes it easy to use anywhere.

  • Multi-Datacenter - Consul is built to be datacenter aware, and can support any number of regions without complex configuration.

  • Service Segmentation - Consul Connect enables secure service-to-service communication with automatic TLS encryption and identity-based authorization.

Consul runs on Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, Solaris, and Windows. A commercial version called Consul Enterprise is also available.

Please note: We take Consul's security and our users' trust very seriously. If you believe you have found a security issue in Consul, please responsibly disclose by contacting us at security@hashicorp.com.
