* Runs Lua `Strict` validation in the gateway along with a security hardening module. This module blocks dangerous Lua functionality that may lead to arbitrary code execution on the controller pods. * Renamed `Syntax` to `InsecureSyntax` validation mode to signify that in this mode Lua won't be validated for possible security gaps. Won't be breaking as `Syntax` mode was not available for use yet. Added a similar warning to `Disabled` validation mode as well. * Supports option to `disableLua` EnvoyExtensionPolicies feature in the gateway to eliminate arbitrary Lua execution as an attack surface.
