To support a new configuration API, we want to update the outbound stack
to compose the following stacks:

  • Routing discovery;
  • Protocol switching;
  • Protocol-specific logical routing;
  • Concrete forwarding / load balancing;
  • Endpoint dispatching.

To do this, we update the existing stacks so that:

  • each stack accepts generic input targets (with enumerated Param
    requirements); and
  • each module defines all necessary internal target types, including
    those passed to inner stacks.

This decouples stack configuration from the specifics of discovery:
tests can satisfy stack parameters without having to stub out all of the
discovery types and we are setup to change discovery implementation
details moving forward.

This requires updating the gateway and ingress stacks in addition to the
(default) sidecar stack.

Generally, we prefer duplicating similar target types to coupling
modules. In followup changes, we can introduce macros to reduce Param
boilerplate if necessary.

Changes include:

  • A new Gateway builder type (analogous to Inbound and Outbound);
  • A new Gateway::server stack handles discovery and protocol
    switching;
  • Service cacheing is performed for the http and opaq stacks (to
    preserve load balancer state, etc) using only the information needed
    for those stacks;
  • Concrete stacks provide the only data-plane queue. This enables
    outer stacks to be cloneable. This also means that the concrete stacks
    are the only stacks with stack metrics;
  • The switch_logical module is removed;
  • The http::detect module is moved into the protocol stack, which
    now supports discovery-hinted protocols to bypass detection.
  • The logical and endpoint modules are removed in favor of
    protocol-specific modules.

We want to change the shape of the outbound stack--removing
`switch_logical` so that forwarding/balancing decisions are made in
concrete stacks. We also want to move away from using profiles
exclusively, adding new discovery types. This is complicated by our use
of fixed target types because it's difficult to make incremental
changes. Furthermore, a stack's requirements are not clearly documented.

This change addresses this as follows:

* The logical, concrete, and endpoint stacks are generic over their
  input types. Each stack enumerates required parameters from these
  targets.
* Each of these stacks declare module-local types that are passed to
  inner services. These types must expose params to satisfy all of the
  requirements of inner stacks.
* `tcp::concrete` and `tcp::logical` have been renamed to
  `opaque::concrete` and `opaque::logical` to reflect that they are an
  alternative to the http stack. The HTTP stack continues to incorporate
  the `tcp::endpoint` stack. The stack helpers have been renamed
  accordingly.

Despite the size of the change, this branch ended up being surprisingly straightforward to review --- this makes a lot of sense! I commented on a lot of fairly small nits, but the overall approach is great.

This release includes many internal changes to prepare for the new
client policy API. Stack metric label values have changed to reflect the
new shape of the outbound proxy.
