To address a potential race condition demonstrated by a unit test added as part of this change, this changes internal type of the endpointID used to identify CiliumEndpoints in the EGW Manager's epDataStore from NamespacedName to UID. The race fixed by this change can be triggered during statefulset pod restart/migration to a different node, when a new endpoint may co-exist with the to-be-deleted endpoint with the same NamespacedName for a short period of time. To not break EGW Manager's endpoint event handling, these two need to have unique endpointID, which can be satisfied by relying on the UID. The drawback of using UID is incompatibility with CiliumEndpointSlices, which is however not an issue for the EGW, as it is already incompatible. In the future the EGW will probably move away from relying on CiliumEndpoints altogether, which should remove this limitation. Signed-off-by: Rastislav Szabo <rastislav.szabo@isovalent.com>
