3633ca0f8c auth: add client-only ACL (#18730)
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 third in a series to eliminate
the use of `nil` ACLs as a sentinel value for when ACLs are disabled.

This patch involves creating a new "virtual" ACL object for checking permissions
on client operations and a matching `AuthenticateClientOnly` method for
client-only RPCs that can produce that ACL.

Unlike the server ACLs PR, this also includes a special case for "legacy" client
RPCs where the client was not previously sending the secret as it
should (leaning on mTLS only). Those client RPCs were fixed in Nomad 1.6.0, but
it'll take a while before we can guarantee they'll be present during upgrades.

928a82a184 WID manager: save and restore signed WIs from client state DB (#18661)
When clients are restarted and the identity hook runs when we restore
allocations, the running allocations are likely to have already-signed Workload
Identities that are unexpired. Save these to the client's local state DB so that
we can avoid a thundering herd of RPCs during client restart. When we restore,
we'll check if there's at least one expired signed WI before making any initial
signing request.

Included:
* Renames `getIdentities` to `getInitialIdentities` to make the workflow more clear.
* Renames the existing `widmgr_test.go` file of integration tests, which is in its
  own package to avoid circular imports to `widmgr_int_test.go`
