The details for the deployment & installation of this plugin were pretty much lifted directly from the
[Calico CNI plugin](https://github.com/projectcalico/cni-plugin).

Specifically:

- The CNI installation script is containerized and deployed as a daemonset in k8s.  The relevant calico k8s manifests were used as the model for the istio-cni plugin's manifest:

  // +optional
  optional NonResourceAttributes nonResourceAttributes = 2;

  // User is the user you're testing for.
  // If you specify "User" but not "Group", then is it interpreted as "What if User were not a member of any groups
  // +optional
  optional string user = 3;

  // Groups is the groups you're testing for.
  // +optional
  repeated string group = 4;
