Proposal for Consul v1 parameter names

[Graham Davison]

With the release of Consul v1, a number of parameter names have been deprecated. See https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md, 1.0.0, Breaking Changes, "Deprecated Options Have Been Removed".

Most of the parameters have simplified equivalents in v1, so they can be mapped from v0.x to v1, but not from v1 to v0.x.

I propose adding the new parameters in addition to the deprecated parameters. If a user is installing v0.x and uses a new parameter, the run fails. If they are installing v1 and uses an old parameter, we map to the new parameter and write a warning in the log.

Any comments?

@gdavison This makes sense to me. In the long run, e.g. new major version, we'd want to remove the old parameters. But I would not suggest doing that for quite awhile.
