Currently, nomad "plugin" processes (e.g. executor, logmon, docker_logger) are started as CLI
commands to be handled by command CLI framework. Plugin launchers use
`discover.NomadBinary()` to identify the binary and start it.
This has few downsides: The trivial one is that when running tests, one
must re-compile the nomad binary as the tests need to invoke the nomad
executable to start plugin. This is frequently overlooked, resulting in
puzzlement.
The more significant issue with `executor` in particular is in relation
to external driver:
* Plugin must identify the path of invoking nomad binary, which is not
trivial; `discvoer.NomadBinary()` now returns the path to the plugin
rather than to nomad, preventing external drivers from launching
executors.
* The external driver may get a different version of executor than it
expects (specially if we make a binary incompatible change in future).
This commit addresses both downside by having the plugin invocation
handling through an `init()` call, similar to how libcontainer init
handler is done in [1] and recommened by libcontainer [2]. `init()`
will be invoked and handled properly in tests and external drivers.
For external drivers, this change will cause external drivers to launch
the executor that's compiled against.
There a are a couple of downsides to this approach:
* These specific packages (i.e executor, logmon, and dockerlog) need to
be careful in use of `init()`, package initializers. Must avoid having
command execution rely on any other init in the package. I prefixed
files with `z_` (golang processes files in lexical order), but ensured
we don't depend on order.
* The command handling is spread in multiple packages making it a bit
less obvious how plugin starts are handled.

- updated region in job metadata that gets persisted to nomad datastore
- fixed many unrelated unit tests that used an invalid region value
(they previously passed because hcl wasn't getting picked up and
the job would default to global region)
We currently only run cleanup Service Hooks when a task is either
Killed, or Exited. However, due to the implementation of a task runner,
tasks are only Exited if they every correctly started running, which is
not true when you recieve an error early in the task start flow, such as
not being able to pull secrets from Vault.
This updates the service hook to also call consul deregistration
routines during a task Stop lifecycle event, to ensure that any
registered checks and services are cleared in such cases.

When a client is running against an old server (e.g. running 0.8),
`alloc.AllocatedResources` may be nil, and we need to check the
deprecated `alloc.TaskResources` instead.

Alloc runner already tracks tasks associated with alloc. Here, we
become defensive by relying on the alloc runner tracked tasks, rather
than depend on server never updating the job unexpectedly.
This exposes a client flag to disable nomad remote exec support in
environments where access to tasks ought to be restricted.
I used `disable_remote_exec` client flag that defaults to allowing
remote exec. Opted for a client config that can be used to disable
remote exec globally, or to a subset of the cluster if necessary.
This fixes an issue where batch and service workloads would never be
restarted due to indefinitely blocking on a nil channel.
It also raises the restoration logging message to `Info` to simplify log
analysis.
Without this change, alloc_endpoint cancel the context passed to handler
when we detect EOF. This races driver in setting exit code; and we run
into a case where the exec process terminates cleanly yet we attempt to
mark it as failed with context error.
Here, we rely on the driver to handle errors returned from Stream and
without racing to set an error.
Registration and restoring allocs don't share state or depend on each
other in any way (syncing allocs with servers is done outside of
registration).
Since restoring is synchronous, start the registration goroutine first.
For nodes with lots of allocs to restore or close to their heartbeat
deadline, this could be the difference between becoming "lost" or not.

Switch the MarkLive method for a chan that is closed by the client.
Thanks to @notnoop for the idea!
The old approach called a method on most existing ARs and TRs on every
runAllocs call. The new approach does a once.Do call in runAllocs to
accomplish the same thing with less work. Able to remove the gate
abstraction that did much more than was needed.
Fixes#1795
Running restored allocations and pulling what allocations to run from
the server happen concurrently. This means that if a client is rebooted,
and has its allocations rescheduled, it may restart the dead allocations
before it contacts the server and determines they should be dead.
This commit makes tasks that fail to reattach on restore wait until the
server is contacted before restarting.

This PR adds
`client.allocs.<job>.<group>.<alloc>.<task>.memory.allocated` as a gauge
in bytes to metrics to ease calculating how close a task is to OOMing.
