Description
We noticed when we were running the Consul Kubernetes conformance tests that we were getting strange rate-limiting errors in Consul. I tracked this down to the fact that the rate limiting code internally is using the service usage metrics code in our state store and noticed that API gateways haven't been added there, so the downstream places where we count and rate limit based on the number of connect-enabled services would never include API gateways in the count. I'm assuming that the reason that we've not noticed up until this point is that:
Testing & Reproduction steps
To reproduce this bug you can run conformance tests against the current Consul Kubernetes code or just register a bunch of services and API Gateways and then watch the Consul rate limiter start throwing errors.
