This PR adds the ACL Token Expiration feature and the new ACL Role construct. All feature code has been previously reviewed before being merged into the feature branch.

I believe the feature branch includes the use of some require test calls within the command package which were recently removed. I will raise a separate PR to address this so I can keep this PR straight forward.

I feel the best merge method will be a merge commit rather than squash to preserve some of the history. I do not mind though if others prefer a squash.

This commit adds configuration parameters to control ACL token
expirations. This includes both limits on the min and max TTL
expiration values, as well as a GC threshold for expired tokens.
The ACL token state schema has been updated to utilise two new
indexes which track expiration of tokens that are configured with
an expiration TTL or time. A new state function allows listing
ACL expired tokens which will be used by internal garbage
collection.

The ACL endpoint has been modified so that all validation happens
within a single function call. This is easier to understand and
see at a glance. The ACL token validation now also includes logic
for expiry TTL and times. The ACL endpoint upsert tests have been
condensed into a single, table driven test.

There is a new token canonicalize which provides a single place
for token canonicalization, rather than logic spread in the RPC
handler.
This commit adds basic expiry checking when performing ACL token
resolution. This expiry checking is local to each server and does
not at this time take into account potential time skew on server
hosts.

A new error message has been created so clients whose token has
expired get a clear message, rather than a generic token not
found.

The ACL resolution tests have been refactored into table driven
tests, so additions are easier in the future.
Two new periodic core jobs have been added which handle removing
expired local and global tokens from state. The local core job is
run on every leader; the global core job is only run on the leader
within the authoritative region.
…sers (#13846)

* api: add ACL token expiry params to HTTP API

* cli: allow setting and displaying ACL token expiry
This commit includes the new state schema for ACL roles along with
state interaction functions for CRUD actions.

The change also includes snapshot persist and restore
functionality and the addition of FSM messages for Raft updates
which will come via RPC endpoints.
New ACL Role RPC endpoints have been created to allow the creation,
update, read, and deletion of ACL roles. All endpoints require a
management token; in the future readers will also be allowed to
view roles associated to their ACL token.

The create endpoint in particular is responsible for deduplicating
ACL policy links and ensuring named policies are found within
state. This is done within the RPC handler so we perform a single
loop through the links for slight efficiency.
These new endpoints are exposed under the /v1/acl/roles and
/v1/acl/role endpoints.

ACL Role: add RPC, HTTP API, and API SDK functionality.
ACL tokens can now utilize ACL roles in order to provide API
authorization. Each ACL token can be created and linked to an
array of policies as well as an array of ACL role links. The link
can be provided via the role name or ID, but internally, is always
resolved to the ID as this is immutable whereas the name can be
changed by operators.

When resolving an ACL token, the policies linked from an ACL role
are unpacked and combined with the policy array to form the
complete auth set for the token.

The ACL token creation endpoint handles deduplicating ACL role
links as well as ensuring they exist within state.

When reading a token, Nomad will also ensure the ACL role link is
current. This handles ACL roles being deleted from under a token
from a UX standpoint.
…pport

ACL: add ACL role functionality to ACL tokens
ACL Roles along with policies and global token will be replicated
from the authoritative region to all federated regions. This
involves a new replication loop running on the federated leader.

Policies and roles may be replicated at different times, meaning
the policies and role references may not be present within the
local state upon replication upsert. In order to bypass the RPC
and state check, a new RPC request parameter has been added. This
is used by the replication process; all other callers will trigger
the ACL role policy validation check.

There is a new ACL RPC endpoint to allow the reading of a set of
ACL Roles which is required by the replication process and matches
ACL Policies and Tokens. A bug within the ACL Role listing RPC has
also been fixed which returned incorrect data during blocking
queries where a deletion had occurred.
Making the ACL Role listing return object a stub future-proofs the
endpoint. In the event the role object grows, we are not bound by
having to return all fields within the list endpoint or change the
signature of the endpoint to reduce the list return size.
When listing or reading an ACL role, roles linked to the ACL token
used for authentication can be returned to the caller.
An ACL roles name must be unique, however, a bug meant multiple
roles of the same same could be created. This fixes that problem
with checks in the RPC handler and state store.
