- the space after `=` is significant in sc parameters (binPath= "<path> <args>, start= auto)
- given the text "the service automatically starts up during/after boot", added `start= auto` to
the example, otherwise the service will be set to Manual start mode.
* Added a note to GCE auto-join credentials option
Simply added a note to remind users that putting a json file in the config-dir will make consul parse it as a config file.
Hope to help someone else avoid wasting a day because of these errors:

This PR introduces reloading tls configuration. Consul will now be able to reload the TLS configuration which previously required a restart. It is not yet possible to turn TLS ON or OFF with these changes. Only when TLS is already turned on, the configuration can be reloaded. Most importantly the certificates and CAs.
* Fix race condition in DNS when using cache
The healty node filtering was modifying the result from the cache, which
caused a crash when multiple queries were made to the same service
simultaneously.
We now copy the node slice before filtering to ensure we do not modify
the data stored in the cache.
* Fix wording in dns cache config doc
s/dns_max_age/cache_max_age/
This PR adds two features which will be useful for operators when ACLs are in use.
1. Tokens set in configuration files are now reloadable.
2. If `acl.enable_token_persistence` is set to `true` in the configuration, tokens set via the `v1/agent/token` endpoint are now persisted to disk and loaded when the agent starts (or during configuration reload)
Note that token persistence is opt-in so our users who do not want tokens on the local disk will see no change.
Some other secondary changes:
* Refactored a bunch of places where the replication token is retrieved from the token store. This token isn't just for replicating ACLs and now it is named accordingly.
* Allowed better paths in the `v1/agent/token/` API. Instead of paths like: `v1/agent/token/acl_replication_token` the path can now be just `v1/agent/token/replication`. The old paths remain to be valid.
* Added a couple new API functions to set tokens via the new paths. Deprecated the old ones and pointed to the new names. The names are also generally better and don't imply that what you are setting is for ACLs but rather are setting ACL tokens. There is a minor semantic difference there especially for the replication token as again, its no longer used only for ACL token/policy replication. The new functions will detect 404s and fallback to using the older token paths when talking to pre-1.4.3 agents.
* Docs updated to reflect the API additions and to show using the new endpoints.
* Updated the ACL CLI set-agent-tokens command to use the non-deprecated APIs.
Adds two new configuration parameters "dns_config.use_cache" and
"dns_config.cache_max_age" controlling how DNS requests use the agent
cache when querying servers.
* Add common blocking implementation details to docs
These come up over and over again with blocking query loops in our own code and third-party's. #5333 is possibly a case (unconfirmed) where "badly behaved" blocking clients cause issues, however since we've never explicitly documented these things it's not reasonable for third-party clients to have guessed that they are needed!
This hopefully gives us something to point to for the future.
It's a little wordy - happy to consider breaking some of the blocking stuff out of this page if we think it's appropriate but just wanted to quickly plaster over this gap in our docs for now.

The guide currently uses node, service, and service for the UI Policy.
This will cause a practically useless UI. This patch uses the _prefix
variants instead which will have the intended behavior.
It appears that the `read` command for ACL policies was used to template the `read` command for ACL tokens, and an invalid option was not dropped from the docs.
Given a query like:
```
{
"Name": "tagged-connect-query",
"Service": {
"Service": "foo",
"Tags": ["tag"],
"Connect": true
}
}
```
And a Consul configuration like:
```
{
"services": [
"name": "foo",
"port": 8080,
"connect": { "sidecar_service": {} },
"tags": ["tag"]
]
}
```
If you executed the query it would always turn up with 0 results. This was because the sidecar service was being created without any tags. You could instead make your config look like:
```
{
"services": [
"name": "foo",
"port": 8080,
"connect": { "sidecar_service": {
"tags": ["tag"]
} },
"tags": ["tag"]
]
}
```
However that is a bit redundant for most cases. This PR ensures that the tags and service meta of the parent service get copied to the sidecar service. If there are any tags or service meta set in the sidecar service definition then this copying does not take place. After the changes, the query will now return the expected results.
A second change was made to prepared queries in this PR which is to allow filtering on ServiceMeta just like we allow for filtering on NodeMeta.

Adds info about `k8stag` and `nodePortSyncType` options that were
added in consul-helm v0.5.0.
Additionally moves the k8sprefix to match the order in the Helm chart
values file, while also clarifying that it only affects one sync
direction.
If a user installs the default Helm chart Consul on a Kubernetes
cluster that is open to the internet, it is lacking some important
security configurations.

This endpoint aggregates all checks related to <service id> on the agent
and return an appropriate http code + the string describing the worst
check.
This allows to cleanly expose service status to other component, hiding
complexity of multiple checks.
This is especially useful to use consul to feed a load balancer which
would delegate health checking to consul agent.
Exposing this endpoint on the agent is necessary to avoid a hit on
consul servers and avoid decreasing resiliency (this endpoint will work
even if there is no consul leader in the cluster).
* Adding the new backup guide
