This adds a websocket endpoint for handling `nomad exec`.
The endpoint is a websocket interface, as we require a bi-directional
streaming (to handle both input and output), which is not very appropriate for
plain HTTP 1.0. Using websocket makes implementing the web ui a bit simpler. I
considered using golang http hijack capability to treat http request as a plain
connection, but the web interface would be too complicated potentially.
Furthermore, the API endpoint operates against the raw core nomad exec streaming
datastructures, defined in protobuf, with json serializer. Our APIs use json
interfaces in general, and protobuf generates json friendly golang structs.
Reusing the structs here simplify interface and reduce conversion overhead.
This commit causes sync to skip deregistering checks that are not
managed by nomad, such as service maintenance mode checks. This is
handled in the same way as service registrations - by doing a Nomad
specific prefix match.
The current implementation of Service Registration uses a hash of the
nomad-internal state of a service to register it with Consul, this means that
any update to the service invalidates this name and we then deregister, and
recreate the service in Consul.
While this behaviour slightly simplifies reasoning about service registration,
this becomes problematic when we add consul health checks to a service. When
the service is re-registered, so are the checks, which default to failing for
at least one check period.
This commit migrates us to using a stable identifier based on the
allocation, task, and service identifiers, and uses the difference
between the remote and local state to decide when to push updates.
It uses the existing hashing mechanic to decide when UpdateTask should
regenerate service registrations for providing to Sync, but this should
be removable as part of a future refactor.
It additionally introduces the _nomad-check- prefix for check
definitions, to allow for future allowing of consul features like
maintenance mode.
* client/metrics: modified metrics to use (updated) client copy of allocation instead of (unupdated) server copy
* updated armon/go-metrics to address race condition in DisplayMetrics
This command will be used to send a signal to either a single task within an
allocation, or all of the tasks if <task-name> is omitted. If the sent signal
terminates the allocation, it will be treated as if the allocation has crashed,
rather than as if it was operator-terminated.
Signal validation is currently handled by the driver itself and nomad
does not attempt to restrict or validate them.

Executor seems to die unexpectedly after nomad agent dies or is
restarted. The crash seems to occur at the first log message after
the nomad agent dies.
To ease debugging we forward executor log messages to executor.log as
well as to Stderr. `go-plugin` sets up plugins with Stderr pointing to
a pipe being read by plugin client, the nomad agent in our case[1].
When the nomad agent dies, the pipe is closed, and any subsequent
executor logs fail with ErrClosedPipe and SIGPIPE signal. SIGPIPE
results into executor process dying.
I considered adding a handler to ignore SIGPIPE, but hc-log library
currently panics when logging write operation fails[2]
This we opt to revert to v0.8 behavior of exclusively writing logs to
executor.log, while we investigate alternative options.

This adds a `nomad alloc stop` command that can be used to stop and
force migrate an allocation to a different node.
This is built on top of the AllocUpdateDesiredTransitionRequest and
explicitly limits the scope of access to that transition to expose it
under the alloc-lifecycle ACL.
The API returns the follow up eval that can be used as part of
monitoring in the CLI or parsed and used in an external tool.
This adds a `nomad alloc restart` command and api that allows a job operator
with the alloc-lifecycle acl to perform an in-place restart of a Nomad
allocation, or a given subtask.
A common issue when using nomad is needing to add in the object verb to
a command to include the `-verbose` flag.
This commit allows users to pass `-verbose` via the `nomad status` alias by
adding a placeholder boolean in the metacommand which allows subcommands
to parse the flag.
