When the Nomad client restarts and restores allocations, the network namespace
for an allocation may exist but no longer be correctly configured. For example,
if the host is rebooted and the task was a Docker task using a pause container,
the network namespace may be recreated by the docker daemon.
When we restore an allocation, use the CNI "check" command to verify that any
existing network namespace matches the expected configuration. This requires CNI
plugins of at least version 1.2.0 to avoid a bug in older plugin versions that
would cause the check to fail.
If the check fails, destroy the network namespace and try to recreate it from
scratch once. If that fails in the second pass, fail the restore so that the
allocation can be recreated (rather than silently having networking fail).
This should fix the gap left #24650 for Docker task drivers and any other
drivers with the `MustInitiateNetwork` capability.

Adds an additional check in the Keyring.Delete RPC to make sure we're not
trying to delete a key that's been used to encrypt a variable. It also adds a
-force flag for the CLI/API to sidestep that check.
The Nomad client can now optionally emit telemetry data from the
prerun and prestart hooks. This allows operators to monitor and
alert on failures and time taken to complete.
The new datapoints are:
- nomad.client.alloc_hook.prerun.success (counter)
- nomad.client.alloc_hook.prerun.failed (counter)
- nomad.client.alloc_hook.prerun.elapsed (sample)
- nomad.client.task_hook.prestart.success (counter)
- nomad.client.task_hook.prestart.failed (counter)
- nomad.client.task_hook.prestart.elapsed (sample)
The hook execution time is useful to Nomad engineering and will
help optimize code where possible and understand job specification
impacts on hook performance.
Currently only the PreRun and PreStart hooks have telemetry
enabled, so we limit the number of new metrics being produced.
This PR adds Consul Template's executeTemplate function to the denylist by
default, in order to prevent accidental or malicious infinitely recursive
execution.

In order to help users understand multi-region federated
deployments, this change adds two new sections to the website.
The first expands the architecture page, so we can add further
detail over time with an initial federation page. The second adds
a federation operations page which goes into failure planning and
mitigation.

* tiny extra clarification that the NOMAD_ADDR is an example
Core scheduler relies on a special table in the state store—the TimeTable—to
figure out which objects can be GC'd. The TimeTable correlates Raft indices
with objects insertion time, a solution we used before most of the objects we
store in the state contained timestamps. This introduced a bit of a memory
overhead and complexity, but most importantly meant that any GC threshold users
set greater than timeTableLimit = 72 * time.Hour was ignored. This PR removes
the TimeTable and relies on object timestamps to determine whether they could
be GCd or not.

When using transparent proxy mode with the `connect` block, the UID of the
workload cannot be the same as the UID of the Envoy sidecar (currently 101 in
the default Envoy container image).

* docs: warn about Consul auth method locality
The locality of Consul tokens we mint via Workload Identity is governed by the
Consul auth method configuration. By default tokens are local to the Consul
datacenter, which typically maps 1:1 with a Nomad region. Cluster administrators
who need cross-datacenter tokens can get them by setting the locality to global,
at the risk of placement problems if the primary DC isn't available.

* jobspec: add a chown option to artifact block
This PR adds a boolean 'chown' field to the artifact block.
It indicates whether the Nomad client should chown the downloaded files
and directories to be owned by the task.user. This is useful for drivers
like raw_exec and exec2 which are subject to the host filesystem user
permissions structure. Before, these drivers might not be able to use or
manage the downloaded artifacts since they would be owned by the root
user on a typical Nomad client configuration.
* api: no need for pointer of chown field
As of #24166, Nomad agents will use their own token to deregister services and
checks from Consul. This returns the deregistration path to the pre-Workload
Identity workflow. Expand the documentation to make clear why certain ACL
policies are required for clients.
Additionally, we did not explicitly call out that auth methods should not set an
expiration on Consul tokens. Nomad does not have a facility to refresh these
tokens if they expire. Even if Nomad could, there's no way to re-inject them
into Envoy sidecars for Consul Service Mesh without recreating the task anyways,
which is what happens today. Warn users that they should not set an expiration.

A few small updates to the recent "Federate access to AWS with Nomad Workload Identity" documentation, most notably that restart isn't needed because AWS SDKs handle OIDC reauth gracefully (unlike any other type of auth - for all others it's cached statically on startup, so nothing but a full restart works in case your credentials expire).
