The `consul agent` command was ignoring extra command line arguments
which can lead to confusion when the user has for example forgotten to
add a dash in front of an argument or is not using an `=` when setting
boolean flags to `true`. `-bootstrap true` is not the same as
`-bootstrap=true`, for example.
Since all command line flags are known and we don't expect unparsed
arguments we can return an error. However, this may make it slightly
more difficult in the future if we ever wanted to have these kinds of
arguments.
Fixes#3397
* new config parser for agent
This patch implements a new config parser for the consul agent which
makes the following changes to the previous implementation:
* add HCL support
* all configuration fragments in tests and for default config are
expressed as HCL fragments
* HCL fragments can be provided on the command line so that they
can eventually replace the command line flags.
* HCL/JSON fragments are parsed into a temporary Config structure
which can be merged using reflection (all values are pointers).
The existing merge logic of overwrite for values and append
for slices has been preserved.
* A single builder process generates a typed runtime configuration
for the agent.
The new implementation is more strict and fails in the builder process
if no valid runtime configuration can be generated. Therefore,
additional validations in other parts of the code should be removed.
The builder also pre-computes all required network addresses so that no
address/port magic should be required where the configuration is used
and should therefore be removed.
