* Support vault auth methods for the Vault connect CA provider
* Rotate the token (re-authenticate to vault using auth method) when the token can no longer be renewed
* Support Vault Namespaces explicitly in CA config
If there is a Namespace entry included in the Vault CA configuration,
set it as the Vault Namespace on the Vault client
Currently the only way to support Vault namespaces in the Consul CA
config is by doing one of the following:
1) Set the VAULT_NAMESPACE environment variable which will be picked up
by the Vault API client
2) Prefix all Vault paths with the namespace
Neither of these are super pleasant. The first requires direct access
and modification to the Consul runtime environment. It's possible and
expected, not super pleasant.
The second requires more indepth knowledge of Vault and how it uses
Namespaces and could be confusing for anyone without that context. It
also infers that it is not supported
* Add changelog
* Remove fmt.Fprint calls
* Make comment clearer
* Add next consul version to website docs
* Add new test for default configuration
* go mod tidy
* Add skip if vault not present
* Tweak changelog text
The Consul UI topology view has an icon with the text
"Configure metrics dashboard" that links to this page. Add a notice at
the top of the page that links them directly to the relevant section.
The UpstreamConfig.Defaults field does not support setting Name or
Namespace because the purpose is to apply defaults to all upstreams.
I think this was just missed in the docs since those fields would
error if set under Defaults.
i.e. this is not supported:
```
UpstreamConfig {
Defaults {
Name = "foo"
Namespace = "bar"
# Defaults config here
}
}
```
It can only work if there is a running service instance in the local DC,
so this is a bit misleading, since failover and redirects are typically
used when there is not an instance in the local DC.
Add the list of common Connect CA configuration options to the
provider-specific CA docs.
Previously these options were only documented under the agent
configuration options. This change makes it so that all supported CA
provider configuration options are available from a single location.

This was necessary in older versions of Consul, but was obsoleted by
making Consul add the port number itself when constructing the Envoy
configuration.
* Use CodeTabs for examples in multiple formats.
* Ensure correct language on code fences.
* Use CodeBlockConfig for examples with filenames, or which need
highlighted content.
This commit adds example JSON configs for several config entry
resources were missing examples in this language.
The examples have been updated to use the new CodeTabs resource
instead of the Tab component.
