When we interpolate job fields for the `vault.default_identity.extra_claims`
block, we forgot to use the parent job ID when that's available (as we do for
all other claims). This changeset fixes the bug and adds a helper method that'll
hopefully remind us to do this going forward.
Also added a missing changelog entry for #23675 where we implemented the
`extra_claims` block originally, which shipped in Nomad 1.8.3.

Nomad clients manage a cpuset cgroup for each task to reserve or share CPU
cores. But Docker owns its own cgroups, and attempting to set a parent cgroup
that Nomad manages runs into conflicts with how runc manages cgroups via
systemd. Therefore Nomad must run as root in order for cpuset management to ever
be compatible with Docker.
However, some users running in unsupported configurations felt that the changes
we made in Nomad 1.7.0 to ensure Nomad was running correctly represented a
regression. This changeset disables cpuset management for non-root Nomad
clients. When running Nomad as non-root, the driver will not longer reconcile
cpusets with Nomad and `resources.cores` will behave incorrectly (but the driver
will still run).
Although this is one small step along the way to supporting a rootless Nomad
client, running Nomad as non-root is still unsupported. This PR is insufficient
by itself to have a secure and properly-working rootless Nomad client.

Although we have `client.allocations` metrics to track allocation states on a
client, having separate metrics for `client.tasks` will allow operators to
identify that there are individual tasks in an unexpected state in an otherwise
healthy allocation.

The path for a Variable never begins with a leading `/`, because it's stripped
off in the API before it ever gets to the state store. The CLI and UI allow the
leading `/` for convenience, but this can be misleading when it comes to writing
ACL policies. An ACL policy with a path starting with a leading `/` will never
match.
Update the ACL policy parser so that we prevent an incorrect variable path in
the policy.

- Pulled common content from multiple pages into new partials
- Refactored install/index to be OS-based so I could add linux-distro-based instructions to install-consul-cni-plugins.mdx partial. The tab groups on the install/index page do match and change focus as expected.
- Moved CNI overview-type content to networking/index
- Refactored networking/cni to include install CNI plugins and configuration content (from install/index).
- Moved CNI plugins explanation in bridge mode configuration section into bullet points. They had been #### headings, which aren't rendered in the R page TOC. I tried to simplify and format the bullet point content to be easier to scan.

On supported platforms, the secrets directory is a 1MiB tmpfs. But some tasks
need larger space for downloading large secrets. This is especially the case for
tasks using `templates`, which need extra room to write a temporary file to the
secrets directory that gets renamed to the old file atomically.
This changeset allows increasing the size of the tmpfs in the `resources`
block. Because this is a memory resource, we need to include it in the memory we
allocate for scheduling purposes. The task is already prevented from using more
memory in the tmpfs than the `resources.memory` field allows, but can bypass
that limit by writing to the tmpfs via `template` or `artifact` blocks.
Therefore, we need to account for the size of the tmpfs in the allocation
resources. Simply adding it to the memory needed when we create the allocation
allows it to be accounted for in all downstream consumers, and then we'll
subtract that amount from the memory resources just before configuring the task
driver.
For backwards compatibility, the default value of 1MiB is "free" and ignored by
the scheduler. Otherwise we'd be increasing the allocated resources for every
existing alloc, which could cause problems across upgrades. If a user explicitly
sets `resources.secrets = 1` it will no longer be free.

In 1.6.0 we shipped the ability to review the original HCL in the web UI, but
didn't follow-up with an equivalent in the command line. Add a `-hcl` flag to
the `job inspect` command.

Although we encourage users to use Vault roles, sometimes they're going to want
to assign policies based on entity and pre-create entities and aliases based on
claims. This allows them to use single default role (or at least small number of
them) that has a templated policy, but have an escape hatch from that.
When defining Vault entities the `user_claim` must be unique. When writing Vault
binding rules for use with Nomad workload identities the binding rule won't be
able to create a 1:1 mapping because the selector language allows accessing only
a single field. The `nomad_job_id` claim isn't sufficient to uniquely identify a
job because of namespaces. It's possible to create a JWT auth role with
`bound_claims` to avoid this becoming a security problem, but this doesn't allow
for correct accounting of user claims.
Add support for an `extra_claims` block on the server's `default_identity`
blocks for Vault. This allows a cluster administrator to add a custom claim on
all allocations. The values for these claims are interpolatable with a limited
subset of fields, similar to how we interpolate the task environment.

The TLS configuration object includes a deprecated `prefer_server_cipher_suites`
field. In version of Go prior to 1.17, this property controlled whether a TLS
connection would use the cipher suites preferred by the server or by the
client. This field is ignored as of 1.17 and, according to the `crypto/tls`
docs: "Servers now select the best mutually supported cipher suite based on
logic that takes into account inferred client hardware, server hardware, and
security."
This property has been long-deprecated and leaving it in place may lead to false
assumptions about how cipher suites are negotiated in connection to a server. So
we want to remove it in Nomad 1.9.0.

In Nomad 1.6.0 we started sending the node secret with RPCs that previously did
not include it. We planned to deprecate the older auth workflow but didn't set a
release. Removing the legacy support means that nodes running <1.6.0 will fail
to heartbeat.

Add a section to the docs describing planned upcoming deprecations and
removals. Also added some missing upgrade guide sections missed during the last
release.
When a root key is rotated, the servers immediately start signing Workload
Identities with the new active key. But workloads may be using those WI tokens
to sign into external services, which may not have had time to fetch the new
public key and which might try to fetch new keys as needed.
Add support for prepublishing keys. Prepublished keys will be visible in the
JWKS endpoint but will not be used for signing or encryption until their
`PublishTime`. Update the periodic key rotation to prepublish keys at half the
`root_key_rotation_threshold` window, and promote prepublished keys to active
after the `PublishTime`.
This changeset also fixes two bugs in periodic root key rotation and garbage
collection, both of which can't be safely fixed without implementing
prepublishing:
* Periodic root key rotation would never happen because the default
`root_key_rotation_threshold` of 720h exceeds the 72h maximum window of the FSM
time table. We now compare the `CreateTime` against the wall clock time instead
of the time table. (We expect to remove the time table in future work, ref
https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/issues/16359)
* Root key garbage collection could GC keys that were used to sign
identities. We now wait until `root_key_rotation_threshold` +
`root_key_gc_threshold` before GC'ing a key.
* When rekeying a root key, the core job did not mark the key as inactive after
the rekey was complete.

The RPC handler for scaling a job passes flags to enforce the job modify index
is unchanged when it makes the write to Raft. But its only checking against the
existing job modify index at the time the RPC handler snapshots the state store,
so it can only enforce consistency for its own validation.
In clusters with automated scaling, it would be useful to expose the enforce
index options to the API, so that cluster admins can enforce that scaling only
happens when the job state is consistent with a state they've previously seen in
other API calls. Add this option to the CLI and API and have the RPC handler
check them if asked.

This enables checks for ContainerAdmin user on docker images on Windows. It's
only checked if users run docker with process isolation and not hyper-v,
because hyper-v provides its own, proper sandboxing.

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.
