This PR sits on top of #12496, so only the last commit + any fixups need to be reviewed.

This commit introduces the ExtAuthzServerInterceptor, a server interceptor that performs external authorization for incoming RPCs.

The interceptor checks if the external authorization filter is enabled. If it is, it calls the external authorization service and handles the response. It supports both unary and streaming RPCs.

The interceptor handles the following scenarios:

  • Allow responses: The RPC is allowed to proceed.
  • Deny responses: The RPC is denied with a PERMISSION_DENIED status.
  • Authorization service errors: The RPC is either denied or allowed to proceed based on the failure_mode_allow configuration.

This commit also includes comprehensive integration tests for the ExtAuthzServerInterceptor, covering various scenarios and configurations.

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.
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 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 also includes parsers to create these configuration objects from the corresponding protobuf messages, as well as unit tests for the new classes.
This commit introduces the `CheckRequestBuilder` library, which is responsible for constructing the `CheckRequest` message sent to the external authorization service.

The `CheckRequestBuilder` gathers information from various sources, including:
- `ServerCall` attributes (local and remote addresses, SSL session).
- `MethodDescriptor` (full method name).
- Request headers.

It uses this information to populate the `AttributeContext` of the `CheckRequest` message, which provides the authorization service with the necessary context to make an authorization decision.

This commit also introduces the `ExtAuthzCertificateProvider`, a helper class for extracting certificate information, such as the principal and PEM-encoded certificate.

Unit tests for the new components are also included.
This commit introduces a library for handling header mutations as specified by the xDS protocol. This library provides the core functionality for modifying request and response headers based on a set of rules.

The main components of this library are:
- `HeaderMutator`: Applies header mutations to `Metadata` objects.
- `HeaderMutationFilter`: Filters header mutations based on a set of configurable rules, such as disallowing mutations of system headers.
- `HeaderMutations`: A value class that represents the set of mutations to be applied to request and response headers.
- `HeaderMutationDisallowedException`: An exception that is thrown when a disallowed header mutation is attempted.

This commit also includes comprehensive unit tests for the new library.
This commit introduces the `CheckResponseHandler` and `AuthzResponse` classes, which are responsible for processing responses from the external authorization service.

The `CheckResponseHandler` parses the `CheckResponse` protobuf, determines whether the request should be allowed or denied, and applies any header mutations specified in the response. It handles both `OkHttpResponse` and `DeniedHttpResponse` messages.

The `AuthzResponse` class is a value object that represents the outcome of the authorization check, encapsulating the decision (allow or deny), the status to be returned to the client (for deny decisions), and any header mutations.

This commit also includes unit tests for the new components.
This commit introduces the client-side implementation of the external authorization filter.

The main component is the `ExtAuthzClientInterceptor`, which intercepts outgoing RPCs and performs external authorization checks. It uses a `BufferingAuthzClientCall` to buffer the outgoing RPC until the authorization decision is received from the authorization service.

The following new classes are introduced:
- `ExtAuthzClientInterceptor`: The main client interceptor for external authorization.
- `BufferingAuthzClientCall`: A `ClientCall` implementation that buffers requests until an authorization decision is made.
- `CallBuffer`: A helper class for `BufferingAuthzClientCall` to manage the buffered calls.
- `FailingClientCall`: A utility `ClientCall` that immediately fails, used when the filter is disabled and configured to deny calls.

This commit also includes comprehensive unit and integration tests for the new components.
