Because peerings are pairwise, between two tuples of (datacenter,
partition) having any exported reference via a discovery chain that
crosses out of the peered datacenter or partition will ultimately not be
able to work for various reasons. The biggest one is that there is no
way in the ultimate destination to configure an intention that can allow
an external SpiffeID to access a service.
This PR ensures that a user simply cannot do this, so they won't run
into weird situations like this.
This is only configured in xDS when a service with an L7 protocol is
exported.
They also load any relevant trust bundles for the peered services to
eventually use for L7 SPIFFE validation during mTLS termination.
Mesh gateways will now enable tcp connections with SNI names including peering information so that those connections may be proxied.
Note: this does not change the callers to use these mesh gateways.

This removes (most) references to the `cache.UpdateEvent` type in the
`proxycfg` package.
As we're going to be direct usage of the agent cache with interfaces that
can be satisfied by alternative server-local datasources, it doesn't make
sense to depend on this type everywhere anymore (particularly on the
`state.ch` channel).
We also plan to extract `proxycfg` out of Consul into a shared library in
the future, which would require removing this dependency.
Aside from a fairly rote find-and-replace, the main change is that the
`cache.Cache` and `health.Client` types now accept a callback function
parameter, rather than a `chan<- cache.UpdateEvents`. This allows us to
do the type conversion without running another goroutine.
Prior to this PR for the envoy xDS golden tests in the agent/xds package we
were hand-creating a proxycfg.ConfigSnapshot structure in the proper format for
input to the xDS generator. Over time this intermediate structure has gotten
trickier to build correctly for the various tests.
This PR proposes to switch to using the existing mechanism for turning a
structs.NodeService and a sequence of cache.UpdateEvent copies into a
proxycfg.ConfigSnapshot, as that is less error prone to construct and aligns
more with how the data arrives.
NOTE: almost all of this is in test-related code. I tried super hard to craft
correct event inputs to get the golden files to be the same, or similar enough
after construction to feel ok that i recreated the spirit of the original test
cases.
