John Cowen 32a619ae99 ui: Add tab navigation to the browser history/URLs (#7592)
* ui: Add tab navigation to the browser history/URLs

This commit changes all our tabbed UI interfaces in the catalog to use
actual URL changes rather than only updating the content in the page
using CSS.

Originally we had decided not to add tab clicks into the browser
history for a variety of reasons. As the UI has progressed these tabs
are a fairly common pattern we are using and as the UI grows and
stabilizes around certain UX patterns we've decided to make these tabs
'URL changing'.

Pros:

- Deeplinking
- Potentially smaller Route files with a more concentrated scope of the
contents of a tab rather than the entire page.
- Tab clicks now go into your history meaning backwards and forwards
buttons take you through the tabs not just the pages.
- The majority of our partials are now fully fledged templates (Octane
🎉)

Cons:

- Tab clicks now go into your history meaning backwards and forwards
buttons take you through the tabs not just the pages. (Could be good and
bad from a UX perspective)
- Many more Route and Controller files (yet as mentioned above each of these
have a more reduced scope)
- Moving around the contents of these tabs, or changing the visual names
of them means updates to the URL structure, which then should
potentially entail redirects, therefore what things that seem like
straightforwards design reorganizations are now a little more impactful.

It was getting to the point that the Pros outweight the Cons

Apart from moving some files around we made a few more tiny tweaks to
get this all working:

- Our freetext-filter component now performs the initial search rather
than this happening in the Controller (remove of the search method in
the Controllers and the new didInsertElement hook in the component)
- All of the <TabNav>'s were changed to use its alternative href
approach.
- <TabPanel>s usage was mostly removed. This is th thing I dislike the
most. I think this needs removing, but I'd also like to remove the HTML
it creates. You'll see that every new page is wrappe din the HTML for
the old <TabPanel>, this is to continue to use the same HTML structure
and id's as before to avoid making further changes to any CSS that might
use this and being able to target things during testing. We could have
also removed these here, but it would have meant a much larger changeset
and can just as easily be done at a later date.
- We made a new `tabgroup` page-object component, which is almost
identical to the previous `radiogroup` one and injected that instead
where needed during testing.

* Make sure we pick up indexed routes when nspaces are enabled

* Move session invalidation to the child (session) route

* Revert back to not using didInsertElement for updating the searching

This adds a way for the searchable to remember the last search result
instead, which changes less and stick to the previous method of
searching.

John Cowen 5dd9cd2d2e UI: Add forking based on service instance id existence (#5392)
* ui: Add forking based on service instance id existence

Proxies come in 2 flavours, 'normal' and sidecar. We know when a proxy
is a sidecar proxy based on whether a DestinationServiceID is set.

LocalServiceAddress and LocalServicePort are only relevant for sidecar
proxies.

This adds template logic to show different text depending on this
information.

Additionally adds test around connect proxies (#5418)

1. Adds page object for the instance detail page
2. Adds further scenario steps used in the tests
3. Adds acceptance testing around the instance detail page. Services
with proxies and the sidecar proxies and proxies themselves
4. Adds datacenter column for upstreams
5. Fixes bug routing bug for decision as to whether to request proxy
information or not
