Experiment/Research Envoy's Proxy Protocol V2

Envoy has a proxy protocol V2

Let's write up a summary of how it works, and create a demo for this.

The end result should be a sidecar in cluster A, that targets service B in cluster B, but is proxied through a "Gateway" envoy proxy, and finally to the destination service sidecar.

Where in this chain of sidecars should we be using the ProxyProtocol? what other information can we place on the connection string in proxy protocol v2?

Let's create a proof of concept around this. These sidecars could be part of a modified OSM system, or could be configured statically.

This will likely be necessary when/if we implement gradual mTLS across a mesh
