Fixes some errors in the documentation for the Consul integration, based on
tests locally without using the `nomad setup consul` command and updating the
docs to match.
* Consul CE doesn't support the `-namespace-rule-bind-namespace` option.
* The binding rule for services should not including the Nomad namespace in the
`bind-name` parameter (the service is registered in the appropriate Consul
namespace).
* The role for tasks should include the suffix "-tasks" in the name to match the
binding rule we create.
* Fix the Consul bound audiences to be a list of strings
* Fix some quoting issues in the commands.
Some sections of the `consul` configuration are relevant only for clients or
servers. We updated our Vault docs to split these parameters out into their own
sections for clarity. Match that for the Consul docs.
* API command and jobspec docs
* PR comments addressed
* API docs for job/jobid/action socket
* Removing a perhaps incorrect origin of job_id across the jobs api doc
* PR comments addressed
The `-reschedule` flag stops allocations and assumes the Nomad scheduler
will create new allocations to replace them. But this is only true for
service and batch jobs.
Restarting non-service jobs with the `-reschedule` flag causes the
command to loop forever waiting for the allocations to be replaced,
which never happens.
Allocations for system jobs may be replaced by triggering an evaluation
after each stop to cause the reconciler to run again.
Sysbatch jobs should not be allowed to be rescheduled as they are never
replaced by the scheduler.
This simplifies the default setup of Nomad workloads WI-based
authentication for Consul by using a single auth method with 2 binding rules.
Users can still specify separate auth methods for services and tasks.
Nomad load all plugins from `plugin_dir` regardless if it is listed in
the agent configuration file. This can cause unexpected binaries to be
executed.
This commit begins the deprecation process of this behaviour. The Nomad
agent will emit a warning log for every plugin binary found without a
corresponding agent configuration block.

Clarify the difference between the `/client` and `/node` endpoints and
link from one to the other to help users discover the endpoint they are
looking for.
Also update the `/client` page description and dynamic nod metadata
section headers to help the page be more discoverable by search engines.
* Update distinct_host feasibility checking to honor the job's namespace. Fixes#9792
* Added test to verify original condition and that fix resolved it.
* Added documentation
Linux capabilities configurable by the task must be a subset of those configured
in the plugin configuration. Clarify this implies that `"all"` is not permitted
if the plugin is not also configured to allow all capabilities.

Vault tokens requested for WI are "periodic" Vault tokens (ones that get
periodically renewed). The field we should be setting for the renewal window is
`token_period`.
The Consul and Vault integrations work shipping in Nomad 1.7 will deprecated the
existing token-based workflows. These will be removed in Nomad 1.9, so add a
note describing this to the upgrade guide.
The WI we get for Consul services is saved to the client state DB like all other
WIs, but the resulting JWT is never exposed to the task secrets directory
because (a) it's only intended for use with Consul service configuration,
and (b) for group services it could be ambiguous which task to expose it to.
Add a note to the `consul.service_identity` docs that these fields are ignored.
Prior to `consul-template` v0.22.0, automatic PKI renewal wouldn't work properly
based on the expiration of the cert. More recent versions of `consul-template`
can use the expiry to refresh the cert, so it's no longer necessary (and in fact
generates extra load on Vault) to set `generate_lease`. Remove this
recommendation from the docs.

Documentation updates to support the new Vault integration with Nomad Workload
Identity. Included:
* Added a large section to the Vault integration docs to explain how to set up
auth methods, roles, and policies (by hand, assuming we don't ship a `nomad
setup-vault` tool for now), and how to safely migrate from the existing workflow
to the new one.
* Shuffled around some of the existing text so that the legacy authentication
method text is in its own section.
* Added a compatibility matrix to the Vault integration page.
`rsadecrypt` uses PKCS #1 v1.5 padding which has multiple known
weaknesses. While it is possible to use safely in Nomad, we should not
encourage our users to use bad cryptographic primitives.
If users want to decrypt secrets in jobspecs we should choose a
cryptographic primitive designed for that purpose. `rsadecrypt` was
inherited from Terraform which only implemented it to support decrypting
Window's passwords on AWS EC2 instances:
https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/pull/16647
This is not something that should ever be done in a jobspec, therefore
there's no reason for Nomad to support this HCL2 function.
