[mesheryctl] Lifecycle management for `meshery-nighthawk`

[piyushsingariya]

Desired Behavior

Lifecycle commands for meshery-nighthawk container is required as subcommand under mesheryctl perf

• perf start will start meshery-perf container in docker/kubernetes and add an entry for the container in meshconfig
  • Flag required to skip adding entry in meshconfig
• perf stop will stop meshery-perf container in docker/kubernetes

The system start and system stop are good examples for references.

Attaching Nighthawk as a Meshery Component

Integration Tests Required

@piyushsingariya Can I try on this?

@piyushsingariya @leecalcote I was thinking of picking up this issue and thought of a possible fix please let me know any changes that I need to make to my approach

The meshery-perf should be added as a service to the meshey.yaml docker-compose file and all the existing meshery containers need to be restarted when the command mesheryctl perf start command is run for the platform docker, right? I am currently looking into a solution for kubernetes platform(by creating a helm chart), would love to hear your thoughts about this.
