In #295 the need was expressed for a machine-readable interface to cluster management commands (garage status, garage layout). We will start by adding these commands to the REST API accessible through the admin endpoint. Ultimately, we would like all of the commands currently available on the Garage CLI to be available from the REST API.

Concerning authentification, we will first start by securing the admin API endpoint with simple bearer tokens, e.g. by using the cluster shared secret (rpc_secret) as a token for admin APIs. We will consider using a separate bearer token for metrics scraping on /metrics as we don't want to have to put our cluster administration token in the Prometheus configuration.
