feat: improve coder connect tunnel handling on reconnect (#17598)
Closescoder/internal#563
The [Coder Connect
tunnel](https://github.com/coder/coder/blob/main/vpn/tunnel.go) receives
workspace state from the Coder server over a [dRPC
stream.](https://github.com/coder/coder/blob/114ba4593b2a82dfd41cdcb7fd6eb70d866e7b86/tailnet/controllers.go#L1029)
When first connecting to this stream, the current state of the user's
workspaces is received, with subsequent messages being diffs on top of
that state.
However, if the client disconnects from this stream, such as when the
user's device is suspended, and then reconnects later, no mechanism
exists for the tunnel to differentiate that message containing the
entire initial state from another diff, and so that state is incorrectly
applied as a diff.
In practice:
- Tunnel connects, receives a workspace update containing all the
existing workspaces & agents.
- Tunnel loses connection, but isn't completely stopped.
- All the user's workspaces are restarted, producing a new set of
agents.
- Tunnel regains connection, and receives a workspace update containing
all the existing workspaces & agents.
- This initial update is incorrectly applied as a diff, with the
Tunnel's state containing both the old & new agents.
This PR introduces a solution in which tunnelUpdater, when created,
sends a FreshState flag with the WorkspaceUpdate type. This flag is
handled in the vpn tunnel in the following fashion:
- Preserve existing Agents
- Remove current Agents in the tunnel that are not present in the
WorkspaceUpdate
- Remove unreferenced Workspaces
