consul agent node meta can be override by catalog api

[lf1029698952]

Feature Description

consul agent node meta can be override by catalog api,
https://www.consul.io/api/catalog.html#register-entity

When I set SkipNodeUpdate=false, but will be agent Synced node info return to the original.

Use Case(s)

We use consul cluster for kubernetes pods service discovery, consul agent as a sidecar to pods, As shown in the following figure.

We define many nginx attribute in consul node meta:

"NodeMeta": {
    "check_domain": "www.xxx.com",
    "check_fall": "2",
    "check_interval": "10000",
    "check_mode": "http",
    "check_rise": "3",
    "check_timeout": "1500",
    "check_url": "/healthcheck",
    "env": "test",
    "load_balancer": "round_robin",
    "upstream": "projectname_region_env",
    "status": "up",
    "weight": "10"
  },

I want to modify node meta attribute by consul catalog api,
to reload nginx upstream conf and not modify pod consul agent.

We try to use enable_tag_override to modify tag by catalog api, but service tag can't support map k-v struct.

Feature:

• node meta support to be override by catalog api
• or service tag support map k-v struct.

I wonder if my usage is correct. Please correct me.
Thanks！
