Tim Gross 27caae2b2a api: make attempting to remove peer by address a no-op (#25599)
In Nomad 1.4.0 we removed support for Raft Protocol v2 entirely. But the
`Operator.RemoveRaftPeerByAddress` RPC handler was left in place, along with its
supporting HTTP API and command line flags. Using this API will always result in
the Raft library error "operation not supported with current protocol version".

Unfortunately it's still possible in unit tests to exercise this code path, and
these tests are quite flaky. This changeset turns the RPC handler and HTTP API
into a no-op, removes the associated command line flags, and removes the flaky
tests. I've also cleaned up the test for `RemoveRaftPeerByID` to consolidate
test servers and use `shoenig/test`.

# Raft Operator HTTP API
The `/operator/raft` endpoints provide tools for management of the Raft subsystem.
Please see the [Consensus Protocol Guide] for more information about Raft consensus protocol and its use.
## Read Raft Configuration
This endpoint queries the status of a client node registered with Nomad.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| ------ | --------------------------------- | ------------------ |
| `GET` | `/v1/operator/raft/configuration` | `application/json` |
The table below shows this endpoint's support for
[blocking queries](/nomad/api-docs#blocking-queries) and
[required ACLs](/nomad/api-docs#acls).
| Blocking Queries | ACL Required |
| ---------------- | ------------ |
| `NO` | `management` |
### Parameters
- `stale` - Specifies if the cluster should respond without an active leader.
This is specified as a query string parameter.
### Sample Request
<Tabs>
<Tab heading="Nomad CLI">
```shell-session
$ nomad operator api /v1/operator/raft/configuration
```
</Tab>
<Tab heading="curl">
```shell-session
$ curl \
https://localhost:4646/v1/operator/raft/configuration
```
</Tab>
</Tabs>
### Sample Response
```json
{
"Index": 0,
"Servers": [
{
"Address": "10.1.0.10:4647",
"ID": "c13f9998-a0f3-d765-0b52-55a0b3ce5f88",
"Leader": false,
"Node": "node1.global",
"RaftProtocol": "3",
"Voter": true
},
{
"Address": "10.1.0.20:4647",
"ID": "d7927f2b-067f-45a4-6266-af8bb84de082",
"Leader": true,
"Node": "node2.global",
"RaftProtocol": "3",
"Voter": true
},
{
"Address": "10.1.0.30:4647",
"ID": "00d56ef8-938e-abc3-6f8a-f8ac80a80fb9",
"Leader": false,
"Node": "node3.global",
"RaftProtocol": "3",
"Voter": true
}
]
}
```
#### Field Reference
- `Index` `(int)` - The `Index` value is the Raft corresponding to this
configuration. The latest configuration may not yet be committed if changes
are in flight.
- `Servers` `(array: Server)` - The returned `Servers` array has information
about the servers in the Raft peer configuration.
- `ID` `(string)` - The ID of the server. For Raft protocol v2, this is the
same as the `Address`. Raft protocol v3 uses GUIDs as the ID.
- `Node` `(string)` - The node name of the server, as known to Nomad, or
`"(unknown)"` if the node is stale and not known.
- `Address` `(string)` - The `ip:port` for the server.
- `Leader` `(bool)` - is either "true" or "false" depending on the server's
role in the Raft configuration.
- `Voter` `(bool)` - is "true" or "false", indicating if the server has a vote
in the Raft configuration. Future versions of Nomad may add support for
non-voting servers.
## Remove Raft Peer
This endpoint removes a Nomad server with given address from the Raft
configuration. The return code signifies success or failure.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| -------- | ------------------------ | ------------------ |
| `DELETE` | `/v1/operator/raft/peer` | `application/json` |
The table below shows this endpoint's support for
[blocking queries](/nomad/api-docs#blocking-queries) and
[required ACLs](/nomad/api-docs#acls).
| Blocking Queries | ACL Required |
| ---------------- | ------------ |
| `NO` | `management` |
### Parameters
- `id` `(string: <optional>)` - Specifies the Raft **ID** of the server to
remove as provided in the output of `/v1/operator/raft/configuration`
API endpoint or the `nomad operator raft list-peers` command.
### Sample Request
<Tabs>
<Tab heading="Nomad CLI">
```shell-session
$ nomad operator api -X DELETE \
/v1/operator/raft/peer?address=1.2.3.4:4647
```
</Tab>
<Tab heading="curl">
```shell-session
$ curl \
--request DELETE \
--header "X-Nomad-Token: ${NOMAD_TOKEN}"
https://127.0.0.1:4646/v1/operator/raft/peer?address=1.2.3.4:4647
```
</Tab>

## Transfer Leadership to another Raft Peer
This endpoint tells the current cluster leader to transfer leadership
to the Nomad server with given address or ID in the Raft
configuration. The return code signifies success or failure.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| ------------------- | --------------------------------------- | ------------------ |
| `PUT` <br /> `POST` | `/v1/operator/raft/transfer-leadership` | `application/json` |
The table below shows this endpoint's support for
[blocking queries](/nomad/api-docs#blocking-queries) and
[required ACLs](/nomad/api-docs#acls).
| Blocking Queries | ACL Required |
| ---------------- | ------------ |
| `NO` | `management` |
### Parameters
- `address` `(string: <optional>)` - Specifies the Raft **Address** of the
target server as provided in the output of `/v1/operator/raft/configuration`
API endpoint or the `nomad operator raft list-peers` command.
- `id` `(string: <optional>)` - Specifies the Raft **ID** of the target server
as provided in the output of `/v1/operator/raft/configuration` API endpoint or
the `nomad operator raft list-peers` command.
<Note>
- The cluster must be running Raft protocol v3 or greater on all server members.
- Either `address` or `id` must be provided, but not both.
</Note>
