Feature: Possibility to control config-domain CM's data part and Gateway CR's servers part from KnativeServing CR

[gabbler97]

Describe the feature

It would be a nice feature to integrate the config-domain configMap data part to the following resource when knative operator is used for example:

apiVersion: operator.knative.dev/v1beta1
kind: KnativeServing
name: knative-serving
namespace: knative-serving
spec:
  config-domain:
    data:
      knative.my.domain.net: ""

Instead of this cm:

apiVersion: v1
data:
 knative.my-domain.net: ""
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
 labels:
   app.kubernetes.io/component: controller
   app.kubernetes.io/name: knative-serving
   app.kubernetes.io/version: 1.12.0
 name: config-domain
 namespace: knative-serving

So I wouldn't have to update the cm. Why it is needed? When I apply the knative serving CR with Terraform with a little change, the config-domain cm is overwritten with the default cm again, and all of my services will be unreachable until I adjust my custom hostname.
It would be also good to have a possibility to set the Gateway:

apiVersion: operator.knative.dev/v1beta1
kind: KnativeServing
name: knative-serving
namespace: knative-serving
spec:
  istio:
    ingressGateway:
     servers:
      - hosts:
        - '*'
        port:
         name: http
         number: 80
         protocol: HTTP
     - hosts:
        - '*'
        port:
          name: https
          number: 443
          protocol: HTTPS
        tls:
          credentialName: tls-cert
          mode: SIMPLE

Instead of this

apiVersion: networking.istio.io/v1beta1
kind: Gateway
metadata:
  name: knative-ingress-gateway
  namespace: knative-serving
spec:
  selector:
    istio: ingressgateway
  servers:
  - hosts:
    - '*'
    port:
      name: http
      number: 80
      protocol: HTTP
  - hosts:
    - '*'
    port:
      name: https
      number: 443
      protocol: HTTPS
    tls:
      credentialName: tls-cert
      mode: SIMPLE

The resason is the same, I have Terraform and I apply the knative-serving CR as kubectl manifest, but when I change anything in the knativeserving CR the Gateway config will be the default one and I will get connection refused for my HTTPS requests until I adjust my changes again. Thank you very much for your help inadvance!
