Consul patches js-yaml, nanoid vulnerabilities

Plus Nomad and go-getter dependency bumps and a policy library cleanup across the week.

61 commits 54 PRs merged 2 releases 6 briefings covered

What shipped: Consul patched a security vulnerability involving js-yaml and nanoid [1], and separately fixed front-end security vulnerabilities for browserlist, postcss, and decode-uri [2]. Consul-k8s added a Helm value to enable tolerations for the CNI DaemonSet [3]. Nomad's API code removed the go-units dependency used for only two constants [4], and Nomad plan diffs now sort names with numeric array indices [5]. The prewritten-terraform-policy-library resolved issues across backup, apigw, kms, rds policies [6], s3 read/write, dynamo, dms policies [7], codebuild, rds, ebs, secretmanager policies [8], and sagemaker, redshift, msk, ssm, ec, es policies [9], plus fixed null errors in eks, redshift, ec2, cf policies [10]. CODEOWNERS updates landed across several Terraform repos [11]. Also: go-getter bumped seven dependencies in the go group [12], go-plugin bumped gRPC [13], and exec2 now reports real RSS and fixes mountinfo permissions [as per previous briefings, but no story provided].
