This PR sits on top of #12491 , so only the last commit + any fixups need to be reviewed.

This commit introduces configuration objects for the external authorization (ExtAuthz) filter and the gRPC service it uses. These classes provide a structured, immutable representation of the subset of the configuration defined in the xDS protobuf messages.

The main new classes are:

  • ExtAuthzConfig: Represents the configuration for the ExtAuthz filter, including settings for the gRPC service, header mutation rules, and other filter behaviors.
  • GrpcServiceConfig: Represents the configuration for a gRPC service, including the target URI, credentials, and other settings.
  • HeaderMutationRulesConfig: Represents the configuration for header mutation rules.

This commit only bothers to deal with creating config objects from grpc/proposal#510 and doesn't handle the rest of the parts about creating a secure channel. This instead opts to create an interface with an insecure implementation to unblock further development

The relevant sections of the spec are

This commit also includes parsers to create these configuration objects from the corresponding protobuf messages, as well as unit tests for the new classes.

Chain of dependent PRs

This commit updates the Envoy proto definitions to a newer version and adds the generated gRPC code for the `envoy.service.auth.v3.Authorization` service.

The updated proto definitions include changes to the `ext_authz` filter, `GrpcService` configuration, and other related components. This also includes new proto files for gRPC credentials and header mutation rules.

The generated `AuthorizationGrpc.java` file provides the gRPC stub that will be used to communicate with the external authorization service.
