GEP: Direct Policy Attachment

[youngnick]

Split out of #713.

This GEP covers work to define and implement an example Direct Policy (most likely BackendTLSPolicy, GEP #1897, since that's already existent and is a Direct Policy.)

This includes at a minimum:

• defining what makes a Direct Policy
• suggested patterns for ensuring discoverable status

Graduation criteria will be something like:

• At least one included Direct Policy
• Included Policy must have conformance tests
• Included Policy may be Extended support (and so, optional).

I know this was split off from #713 but I'm confused as to where circuit breakers from the issue landed. Is that here or in the inherited policy attachment issue?

[youngnick]

Circuit breaking is a separate feature that we know we need, but yes, there is currently no GEP for that. I'll make an issue to be the place where people can register their interest now.

[youngnick]

#3358 covers circuit breaking as a feature. Note that this is just to give folks a number, not a commitment to work on this yet. That's a discussion to have during the scoping phase, which will open after Gateway API 1.2 releases.
