Consul 1.14.0 changed the way in which gRPC listeners are configured, particularly when using TLS. Prior to the change, a single listener was responsible for handling plain-text and encrypted gRPC requests. In 1.14.0 and beyond, separate listeners will be used for each, defaulting to 8502 and 8503 for plain-text and TLS respectively.

The change means that Nomad’s Consul Connect integration would not work when integrated with Consul clusters using TLS and running 1.14.0 or greater.

The Nomad Consul fingerprinter identifies the gRPC port Consul has exposed using the "DebugConfig.GRPCPort" value from Consul’s “/v1/agent/self” endpoint. In Consul 1.14.0 and greater, this only represents the plain-text gRPC port which is likely to be disbaled in clusters running TLS. In order to fix this issue, Nomad now takes into account the Consul version and configured scheme to optionally use “DebugConfig.GRPCTLSPort” value from Consul’s agent self return.

The “consul_grcp_socket” allocrunner hook has also been updated so that the fingerprinted gRPC port attribute is passed in. This provides a better fallback method, when the operator does not configure the “consul.grpc_address” option.

Closes #15266
