[Feature] managed istio egress gateway support

[tobiasholzner-whiteduck]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I want to allow egress traffic only for certain fqdns. To realize this i want to use the istio egress gateway. This is not
supported by the aks managed istio service mesh.

Describe the solution you'd like
support for istio egress gateway

@tobiasholzner-whiteduck we are actively working on the Istio egress gateway implementation for the add-on but needed to temporarily halt development work to address some other high priority items. We will provide an update when we resume work on the egress gateway and have a better idea about timelines.

hello all. Checking in on this. Its a feature that is keeping us from moving to Managed Istio. Would be great to see it back in development!!!

@adamyager @philwelz @tobiasholzner-whiteduck we are actively working on the implementation right now. Tentative ETA is early 2025. Will keep you posted if there are any new timeline updates.
