Hazelcast: Hazelcast Consul plugin incompatible with Hazelcast 4.0

[timoinstana]

Describe the bug
The documentation for Hazelcast 4.0 contains a section for Consul discovery (https://docs.hazelcast.org/docs/4.0/manual/html-single/index.html#consul-cloud-discovery). Due to package changes, this plugin is not compatible with Hazelcast 4.0 anymore.

Expected behavior
a) The plugin is fixed
b) The documentation is updated

Hi @amrsamii, glad to see that you're interested! :tada: I'm assigning you the issue.

I don't know how familiar you are with Consul. If not that much (like myself), I would suggest you following workflow:

• Setup Consul locally (https://learn.hashicorp.com/consul/getting-started/install)
• Setup Hazelcast IMDG locally with Consul Discovery, but with Hazelcast IMDG 3.12.6 version, which should still be working without problems (https://github.com/bitsofinfo/hazelcast-consul-discovery-spi#usage)
• Then upgrading the code to Hazelcast IMDG to 4.0, which should stop working
• Fix it.

In case you get stuck anywhere, don't hesitate to ping us on Gitter or here. Looking forward to your contribution! :)
