+Adds flag -append-filename (which works on values version, dc, node and status) to consul snapshot save command.
+Adding the flag -append-filename version,dc,node,status will add consul version, consul datacenter, node name and leader/follower
+(status) in the file name given in the snapshot save command before the file extension.
