This effectively behaves like ztunnel is an in-pod sidecar, without actually requiring the injection of ztunnel as a sidecar into the pod manifest, or mutatating the application pod in any way.

Once we determine the proxy may be impacted, we determine which *types* may be impacted. For example, we know a `WasmPlugin` does not impact the `Cluster` type, so we can skip generating `Cluster` in this case. Warning: Envoy currently has a bug that *requires* `Endpoints` to be pushed any time the corresponding `Cluster` is pushed, so this optimization is intentionally turned off in this specific case.
