design-cfps Egress Connection Timeouts Design

As mentioned in the discussion with Cilium Community on 1/8/2025, we propose an additional timeouts field to CiliumEgressGatewayPolicy to allow users to control egress connection timeouts values at the CEGP level. This lays out approaches for designing this feature.

@rari459 Just a few more comments, seems like we have a couple things we need to update on from the discussion over on https://github.com/cilium/cilium/discussions/37454.

Overall, from my perspective this proposal makes sense, with the ux changes regarding the EgressGatewayPolicy I think this provides a good way to expose this somewhat low level configuration that some users may be interested in.
