Nomad creates Consul ACL tokens and service registrations to support Consul
service mesh workloads, before bootstrapping the Envoy proxy. Nomad always talks
to the local Consul agent and never directly to the Consul servers. But the
local Consul agent talks to the Consul servers in stale consistency mode to
reduce load on the servers. This can result in the Nomad client making the Envoy
bootstrap request with a tokens or services that have not yet replicated to the
follower that the local client is connected to. This request gets a 404 on the
ACL token and that negative entry gets cached, preventing any retries from
succeeding.
To workaround this, we'll use a method described by our friends over on
`consul-k8s` where after creating the objects in Consul we try to read them from
the local agent in stale consistency mode (which prevents a failed read from
being cached). This cannot completely eliminate this source of error because
it's possible that Consul cluster replication is unhealthy at the time we need
it, but this should make Envoy bootstrap significantly more robust.
This changset adds preflight checks for the objects we create in Consul:
* We add a preflight check for ACL tokens after we login via via Workload
Identity and in the function we use to derive tokens in the legacy
workflow. We do this check early because we also want to use this token for
registering group services in the allocrunner hooks.
* We add a preflight check for services right before we bootstrap Envoy in the
taskrunner hook, so that we have time for our service client to batch updates
to the local Consul agent in addition to the local agent sync.
We've added the timeouts to be configurable via node metadata rather than the
usual static configuration because for most cases, users should not need to
touch or even know these values are configurable; the configuration is mostly
available for testing.

We no longer intend to release 32-bit builds for any platform. We'd previously
removed the builds for i386 on both Linux and Windows, but never got around to
removing the ARM builds. Add a note about this deprecation in the release notes
for 1.8.x.
Update the documentation for the `spread` block:
* Make it clear that the default behavior within a given job when the `spread`
block is omitted is to spread out allocs among feasible nodes.
* Describe the difference between the `spread` block and `spread` scheduler
algorithm.
* Add warnings about the performance impact of using `spread` and how to
mitigate it.
Our documentation for the `node drain` command doesn't include a treatment of
batch jobs, which are not migrated. The user is left to piece this behavior
together from the `migrate` documentation and the tutorial. Instead, let's
explicitly list the behaviors per job type.

This allows users to set a custom value of attempts that will be made to purge
an existing (not running) container if one is found during task creation.

Users can override the default sidecar task for Connect workloads. This sidecar
task might need access to certificate stores on the host. Allow adding the
`volume_mount` block to the sidecar task override.
Also fixes a bug where `volume_mount` blocks would not appear in plan diff
outputs.
