Draft: Resolve "Egress Whitelist - Jira"

Steven Donald requested to merge 70-egress-whitelist-jira into main

General MR

Summary

As part of big-bang&160, we will want to enable users to configure setting REGISTRY_ONLY traffic policy on a per-package basis, in addition to allowing for it to be set globally in the meshConfig (see #1886). Creating Sidecars in each package will also allow us to focus on individual packages as we define what whitelists will need to be created per application.

#70

Upgrade Notices

A Sidecar resource has been added to the jira namespace that disallows egress to endpoints that are not part of the Istio service registry (a.k.a REGISTRY_ONLY). The outboundTrafficPolicy.mode in the Sidecar can be configured, however, to be something other than REGISTRY_ONLY if desired by setting istio.hardened.outboundTrafficPolicyMode. This provides a redundant layer of network security in addition to NetworkPolicies. This Sidecar is disabled by default but can be enabled by setting istio.enabled: true and istio.hardened.enabled: true.

Additional custom ServiceEntries can be created by populating the istio.hardened.customServiceEntries list.

Closes #70
