Introduce an optional packet and stream prefix labeling concept to assist with multiplexing gossip over single ports.

Also bumps to build and test against go 1.16

What are the possible use cases of this feature ? :)

Hi @samueltorres, thanks for the question!

I am an Engineering Manager for the Consul team. This PR is related to changes for Admin Partitions, a new enterprise-level feature in Consul coming in Consul 1.11. Admin Partitions were announced during HashiConf 2021 just recently, so if you are interested in knowing more, please feel free to check out the keynote sessions as well as some of the documentation available online with our 1.11 beta releases.
