The below text is copied from the body of the original PR.
Implement the new
nomad job restart
command that allows operators to restart allocations tasks or reschedule then entire allocation.Restarts can be batched to target multiple allocations in parallel. Between each batch the command can stop and hold for a predefined time or until the user confirms that the process should proceed.
This implements the "Stateless Restarts" alternative from the original RFC
(https://gist.github.com/schmichael/e0b8b2ec1eb146301175fd87ddd46180). The original concept is still worth implementing, as it allows this functionality to be exposed over an API that can be consumed by the Nomad UI and other clients. But the implementation turned out to be more complex than we initially expected so we thought it would be better to release a stateless CLI-based implementation first to gather feedback and validate the restart behaviour.
