The alloc exec and filesystem/logs commands allow passing the `-job` flag to
select a random allocation. If the namespace for the command is set to `*`, the
RPC handler doesn't handle this correctly as it's expecting to query for a
specific job. Most commands handle this ambiguity by first verifying that only a
single object of the type in question exists (ex. a single node or job).
Update these commands so that when the `-job` flag is set we first verify
there's a single job that matches. This also allows us to extend the
functionality to allow for the `-job` flag to support prefix matching.

This feature is necessary when user want to explicitly re-render all templates on task restart.
E.g. to fetch all new secrets from Vault, even if the lease on the existing secrets has not been expired.
An ACL policy with a block without label generates unexpected results.
For example, a policy such as this:
```
namespace {
policy = "read"
}
```
Is applied to a namespace called `policy` instead of the documented
behaviour of applying it to the `default` namespace.
This happens because of the way HCL1 decodes blocks. Since it doesn't
know if a block is expected to have a label it applies the `key` tag to
the content of the block and, in the example above, the first key is
`policy`, so it sets that as the `namespace` block label.
Since this happens internally in the HCL decoder it's not possible to
detect the problem externally.
Fixing the problem inside the decoder is challenging because the JSON
and HCL parsers generate different ASTs that makes impossible to
differentiate between a JSON tree from an invalid HCL tree within the
decoder.
The fix in this commit consists of manually parsing the policy after
decoding to clear labels that were not set in the file. This allows the
validation rules to consistently catch and return any errors, no matter
if the policy is an invalid HCL or JSON.
Document and test that if a namespace does not provide an `allow` or
`deny` list than those are treated as `nil` and have a different
behaviour from an empty list (`[]string{}`).
The requirements for client-to-server and client-to-client topologies are not
well-documented in the production install requirements docs. Document that
clients make connections to servers (and not the other way around), and that
clients don't need to communicate with each other (with some exceptions).
