The RPC handlers expect to see `nil` ACL objects whenever ACLs are disabled. By
using `nil` as a sentinel value, we have the risk of nil pointer exceptions and
improper handling of `nil` when returned from our various auth methods that can
lead to privilege escalation bugs. This is the final patch in a series to
eliminate the use of `nil` ACLs as a sentinel value for when ACLs are disabled.
This patch adds a new virtual ACL policy field for when ACLs are disabled and
updates our authentication logic to use it. Included:
* Extends auth package tests to demonstrate that nil ACLs are treated as failed
auth and disabled ACLs succeed auth.
* Adds a new `AllowDebug` ACL check for the weird special casing we have for
pprof debugging when ACLs are disabled.
* Removes the remaining unexported methods (and repeated tests) from the
`nomad/acl.go` file.
* Update the semgrep rules to detect improper nil ACL checking and remove the
old invalid ACL checks.
* Update the contributing guide for RPC authentication.
