Description

#### Feature Description

Make it possible to set service tags on the default service created for consul servers. This is already possible on [Vault](https://developer.hashicorp.com/vault/docs/configuration/service-registration/consul#service_tags) and [Nomad](https://developer.hashicorp.com/nomad/docs/configuration/consul#tags) but not Consul, unless I'm blind.

#### Use Case(s)

In our usecase it would make it easier to hook up the Consul UI to Traefik using the Traefik [Consul Catalog provider](https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/routing/providers/consul-catalog/).

Research direction

Start by tracing how the default consul.service.consul registration is created and compare the service-tag configuration documented for Vault and Nomad. Done means Consul can configure tags for its default service and those tags are visible to the Traefik Consul Catalog provider.
