Use a shared secret and (a DHT / something??), instead of relying on Consul or fixed boostrap addresses.

Not sure. Basically the idea of this issue is to make Garage run automatically on any kind of network and not need the administrator to manage connections between nodes. It could work like Syncthing: just copy-paste a node ID into another node, and the two nodes will manage to do NAT traversal and other stuff to manage to connect to one another. In the case of Garage, nodes could just know the shared secret (= rpc_secret), and from there have a signaling mechanism to find other nodes of the cluster and automatically connect. However the mechanism in Syncthing uses a centralized bootstrap server to find other nodes, not sure we want to do that.
