The current loadbalancer controlplane always initializes new `BackendParams` with its default value `Unhealthy=false`. This leads to potential issues that backendselection for a given service doesn't respect the circumstance that there might be service health check implementations that should report the backend health state before exposing that service backend via statedb `frontend` to other modules. Therefore, this commit introduces a new hook `SetIsServiceHealthCheckedFunc` to the loadbalancer `Writer`. Service health checking modules can use this hook to mark that a given service is health checked. Backendselection for a service will use that hook and only include a backend to a health-checked service frontend if the health state for the backend has already been reported once. This prevents prematurely exposing unhealthy backends (or their incorrect health status) to other modules. Signed-off-by: Marco Hofstetter <marco.hofstetter@isovalent.com>

Since cilium#41092 now marks backends unhealthy until they've been health checked there's no need to restore the quarantined state of backends on restart since they'll anyway start out unhealthy until they've been health checked again. Signed-off-by: Jussi Maki <jussi@isovalent.com>
