Backport
This PR is auto-generated from #15370 to be assessed for backporting due to the inclusion of the label backport/1.14.
The below text is copied from the body of the original PR.
This changes the JWT authorization logic to allow all non-whitespace, non-quote characters when validating node names. Consul had previously allowed these characters in node names, until this validation was added to fix a security vulnerability with whitespace/quotes being passed to the
bexpr

which aren't related to this vulnerability. This PR also adds a warning on agent startup if an invalid character is present in the node name (at some point we can consider changing this to a hard error).Overview of commits
