`Client.dial` can be called multiple times. For example, from regular
`NewClient` and [from the `Maintenance`
wrapper](6d451ab61d/client/v3/maintenance.go (L81-L84)).
This ends up creating two (if `Client.dial` is called twice) independent
`credentials.Bundle` instances:
- the first one is wired into `PerRPCCredentials` callback in gRPC
client.
- the second one is in `Client.authTokenBundle` and receives the latest
auth token updates.
When using username/password authentication and the server is configured
to issue JWTs, token rotation logic breaks because of the above
`credentials.Bundle` confusion.
- ErrGRPCNotCapable("etcdserver: not capable") -> codes.FailedPrecondition (it will not autofix, it requires new version of server)
- ErrGPRCNotSupportedForLearner("etcdserver: rpc not supported for learner") -> codes.FailedPrecondition (as long as its learner, the call will not work)
- ErrGRPCClusterVersionUnavailable("etcdserver: cluster version not found during downgrade") -> codes.FailedPrecondition (backend does not contain the version (old etcd?) so retry will not help)

clientv3 logs (especially tests) were poluted with unattributed to testing.T log lines:
```
{"level":"warn","ts":"2021-04-29T12:42:11.055+0200","logger":"etcd-client","caller":"v3/retry_interceptor.go:64","msg":"retrying of unary invoker failed","target":"etcd-endpoints://0xc0000fafc0/#initially=[unix://localhost:m10]","attempt":0,"error":"rpc error: code = ResourceExhausted desc = etcdserver: mvcc: database space exceeded"}
```
The reasons were 2 fold:
- Interceptors were copying logger before "WithLogger" could modify it.
- We were not propagating the loggers in a few testing contexts.
The flag protects etcd memory from being swapped out to disk.
This can happen in memory constrained systems where mmaped bbolt
area is natural condidate for swapping out.
This flag should provide better tail latency on the cost of higher RSS
ram usage. If the experiment is successful, the logic should get moved
into bbolt layer, where we can protect specific bbolt instances
(e.g. avoid protecting both during defragmentation).
