Sending the Ctrl-Break signal to PowerShell <6 causes it to drop into
debug mode. Closing its output pipe at that point will block
indefinitely and prevent the process from being killed by Nomad.
See the upstream powershell issue for details:

This commit changes the force closing of the stdout/stderr file
descriptor from closing immediately to being closed after a grace
period. This allows the created process to close its own file and allows
copying of the data.
A comment in the nomad source code states that swapping for
executor_linux allocations is disabled but it wasn't.
Nomad wrote -1 to the memsw.limit_in_bytes cgroup file to disable
swapping.
This has the following problems:
1.) Writing -1 to the file does not disable swapping. It sets
the limit for memory and swap to unlimited.
2.) On common Linux distributions like Ubuntu 16.04 LTS the
memsw.limit_in_bytes cgroup file does not exist by default.
The memsw.limit_in_bytes file only exist if the Linux kernel is
build with CONFIG_MEMCG_SWAP=yes and either
CONFIG_MEMCG_SWAP_ENABLED=yes or when the kernel parameter
swapaccount=1 is passed during boot.
Most Linux distributions disable swap accounting by default because
of higher memory usage.
Nomad silently ignores if writing to the memsw.limit_in_bytes file
fails. The allocation succeeds, no message is logged to notify the
user.
To ensure that disabling swap works on common Linux kernels, disable
swapping by writing 0 to the memory.swappiness file.
Using the memory.swappiness file only requires that the kernel is
compiled with CONFIG_MEMCG=yes. This is the default in common Linux
kernels.

The new client only handles agent and task service advertisement. Server
discovery is mostly unchanged.
The Nomad client agent now handles all Consul operations instead of the
executor handling task related operations. When upgrading from an
earlier version of Nomad existing executors will be told to deregister
from Consul so that the Nomad agent can re-register the task's services
and checks.
Drivers - other than qemu - now support an Exec method for executing
abritrary commands in a task's environment. This is used to implement
script checks.
Interfaces are used extensively to avoid interacting with Consul in
tests that don't assert any Consul related behavior.
This PR fixes two issues:
* Folder permissions in -dev mode were incorrect and not suitable for
running as a particular user.
* Was not setting the group membership properly for the launched
process.

This PR:
* Uses Go 1.8 executable lookup
* Stores any err message from stats init method
* Allows overriding of Cpu Compute for hosts where it can't be detected
