agent: Use an in-process listener with cache (#12762)
Uses a bufconn listener between consul-template and vault-agent when
caching is enabled and either templates or a listener is defined. This
means no listeners need to be defined in vault-agent for just
templating. Always routes consul-template through the vault-agent
cache (instead of only when persistent cache is enabled).

Uses a local transportDialer interface in config.Cache{}.

Vault Agent

Vault Agent is a client daemon that provides Auth-Auth, Caching, and Template features.

Vault Agent provides a number of different helper features, specifically addressing the following challenges:

  • Automatic authentication
  • Secure delivery/storage of tokens
  • Lifecycle management of these tokens (renewal & re-authentication)

See the usage documentation on the Vault website here:
