core/internal/cluster: implement multi-node clusters with 'golden ticket'.

As we have fully ripped out all traces of the node management service or
integrity checks, we implement a stopgap system that allows us to
continue developing multi-node clusters. This mechanism is enrolment
using 'golden tickets', which are protobuf messages that can be
generated via the debug service on an existing cluster, and set on a new
node's EnrolmentConfig to bring that enrol that node into the cluster.

As this is a stopgap measure (waiting for better cluster lifecycle
design), this is somewhat poorly implemented, with known issues:
 - odd enrolment flow that creates all certificates off-node and results
   in some code duplication in the cluster manager and node debug
   service
 - (more) assumptions that every node is both a kubernetes and etcd
   member.
 - absolutely no protection against consensus loss due to even quorum
   membership, repeated issuance of certificates
 - dependence on knowing the IP address of the new node ahead of time,
   which is not something that our test harness supports well (or that
   we want to rely on at all)

Test Plan: part of existing multi-node tests

Nexantic monorepo

This is the monorepo storing all of nexantic's internal projects and libraries.

Environment

We assume a Fedora host system provisioned using rW, and IntelliJ as the IDE.

For better reproducibility, all builds are executed in containers.

Usage

Spinning up: scripts/create_container.sh

Spinning down: scripts/destroy_container.sh

Running commands: scripts/run_in_container.sh <...>

Using bazel using a wrapper script: scripts/bin/bazel <...> (add to your local $PATH for convenience)

Run a single node cluster

Launch the node:

bazel run //:launch

Run a kubectl command:

bazel run //core/cmd/dbg -- kubectl describe

IntelliJ

This repository is compatible with the IntelliJ Bazel plugin. All commands run inside the container, and necessary paths are mapped into the container.

We check the entire .ijwb project directory into the repository, which requires everyone to use the latest version of both IntelliJ and the Bazel plugin, but eliminates manual setup steps.

The following steps are necessary:

  • Install Google's official Bazel plugin in IntelliJ.

  • Add the absolute path to your ~/.cache/bazel-nxt folder to your idea64.vmoptions (Help → Edit Custom VM Options) and restart IntelliJ:

    -Dbazel.bep.path=/home/leopold/.cache/bazel-nxt

  • Set "Bazel Binary Location" in Other Settings → Bazel Settings to the absolute path of scripts/bin/bazel. This is a wrapper that will execute Bazel inside the container.

  • Open the .ijwb folder as IntelliJ project.

  • Disable Vgo support for the project.

  • Run a non-incremental sync in IntelliJ

The plugin will automatically resolve paths for generated files.

If you do not use IntelliJ, you need to use the scripts/bazel_copy_generated_for_ide.sh script to copy files locally.
