LGTM! And as someone managing a largish deployment, this is a huge win for DR. It's much easier to reassert a set of ACLs than to update tokens on all clients. |

Nice! We struggled with this too. |

Fixes #777. Previously, there was an ACL create endpoint, which did not permit providing an ID and always randomly generated an ID. There was also an update endpoint, which required an ID and that the ACL must exist.
This meant it was not possible to restore tokens (from backup) since the token ID was always re-generated. It also made it difficult to generate an ID external to Consul, which can be useful for systems like Vault.
This PR changes the behavior to an upsert. If an ID is not provided, a random UUID will be generated. Create and Update do not require the ACL to exist already, allowing for ACL restoration or external generation.
This should not break any existing clients, but enables some new use cases. However, there is basically no difference between create and update, but the endpoints must exist for backwards compatibility reasons.
