This changes makes it so that we output the empty string for Format
when there is no data. It turns out there are many places in the code
where we have such handling, but in a way that would break the JSON
formatter (since we'd output nothing on stdout or text rather than
`[]`/`null`).
Refactors the CLI to create the `*codersdk.Client` in the handlers. This is groundwork for changing the `rootCmd.InitClient()` to use the new `ClientOption`s.
It also improves variable locality, scoping the Client to the handler. This makes misuse less likely and reduces the memory allocations to just the command being executed, rather than allocating a Client for every command regardless of whether it is executed.
## Summary
In this pull request we're adding support for additional filtering
options to the `provisioners list` CLI command and the
`/provisionerdaemons` API endpoint.
Resolves: https://github.com/coder/coder/issues/18783
### Changes
#### Added CLI Options
- `--show-offline`: When this option is provided, all provisioner
daemons will be returned. This means that when `--show-offline` is not
provided only `idle` and `busy` provisioner daemons will be returned.
- `--status=<list_of_statuses>`: When this option is provided with a
comma-separated list of valid statuses (`idle`, `busy`, or `offline`)
only provisioner daemons that have these statuses will be returned.
- `--max-age=<duration>`: When this option is provided with a valid
duration value (e.g., `24h`, `30s`) only provisioner daemons with a
`last_seen_at` timestamp within the provided max age will be returned.
#### Query Params
- `?offline=true`: Include offline provisioner daemons in the results.
Offline provisioner daemons will be excluded if `?offline=false` or if
offline is not provided.
- `?status=<list_of_statuses>`: Include provisioner daemons with the
specified statuses.
- `?max_age=<duration>`: Include provisioner daemons with a
`last_seen_at` timestamp within the max age duration.
#### Frontend
- Since offline provisioners will not be returned by default anymore
(`--show-offline` has to be provided to see them), a checkbox was added
to the provisioners list page to allow for offline provisioners to be
displayed
- A revamp of the provisioners page will be done in:
https://github.com/coder/coder/issues/17156, this checkbox change was
just added to maintain currently functionality with the backend updates

### Show Offline vs Offline Status
To list offline provisioner daemons, users can either:
1. Include the `--show-offline` option
OR
2. Include `offline` in the list of values provided to the `--status`
option
