In Consul all policies are stored and replicated globally but can be scoped to a subset of the datacenters. This allows for more granular access management. Unlike Nomad, Consul has legacy baggage in the form of the original ACL system. The ramifications of this are: A server running the new system must still support other clients using the legacy system. A client running the new system must be able to use the legacy RPCs when the servers in its datacenter are running the legacy system. The primary ACL DC's servers running in legacy mode needs to be a gate that keeps everything else in the entire multi-DC cluster running in legacy mode. So not only does this PR implement the new ACL system but has a legacy mode built in for when the cluster isn't ready for new ACLs. Also detecting that new ACLs can be used is automatic and requires no configuration on the part of administrators.

Convert to Go Modules (#5517 )

* First conversion

* Use serf 0.8.2 tag and associated updated deps

* * Move freeport and testutil into internal/

* Make internal/ its own module

* Update imports

* Add replace statements so API and normal Consul code are
self-referencing for ease of development

* Adapt to newer goe/values

* Bump to new cleanhttp

* Fix ban nonprintable chars test

* Update lock bad args test

The error message when the duration cannot be parsed changed in Go 1.12
(ae0c435877d3aacb9af5e706c40f9dddde5d3e67). This updates that test.

* Update another test as well

* Bump travis

* Bump circleci

* Bump go-discover and godo to get rid of launchpad dep

* Bump dockerfile go version

* fix tar command

* Bump go-cleanhttp

Pass a testing.T into NewTestAgent and TestAgent.Start (#5342 )

This way we can avoid unnecessary panics which cause other tests not to run.

This doesn't remove all the possibilities for panics causing other tests not to run, it just fixes the TestAgent

New ACLs (#4791 )

This PR is almost a complete rewrite of the ACL system within Consul. It brings the features more in line with other HashiCorp products. Obviously there is quite a bit left to do here but most of it is related docs, testing and finishing the last few commands in the CLI. I will update the PR description and check off the todos as I finish them over the next few days/week.
Description

At a high level this PR is mainly to split ACL tokens from Policies and to split the concepts of Authorization from Identities. A lot of this PR is mostly just to support CRUD operations on ACLTokens and ACLPolicies. These in and of themselves are not particularly interesting. The bigger conceptual changes are in how tokens get resolved, how backwards compatibility is handled and the separation of policy from identity which could lead the way to allowing for alternative identity providers.

On the surface and with a new cluster the ACL system will look very similar to that of Nomads. Both have tokens and policies. Both have local tokens. The ACL management APIs for both are very similar. I even ripped off Nomad's ACL bootstrap resetting procedure. There are a few key differences though.

Nomad requires token and policy replication where Consul only requires policy replication with token replication being opt-in. In Consul local tokens only work with token replication being enabled though.
All policies in Nomad are globally applicable. In Consul all policies are stored and replicated globally but can be scoped to a subset of the datacenters. This allows for more granular access management.

A server running the new system must still support other clients using the legacy system.
A client running the new system must be able to use the legacy RPCs when the servers in its datacenter are running the legacy system.
The primary ACL DC's servers running in legacy mode needs to be a gate that keeps everything else in the entire multi-DC cluster running in legacy mode.

So not only does this PR implement the new ACL system but has a legacy mode built in for when the cluster isn't ready for new ACLs. Also detecting that new ACLs can be used is automatic and requires no configuration on the part of administrators.
