Cilium Feature Proposal

The Go Extension support (beta) in Envoy was added a while back, however, there is no active development and improvement for the past few releases.

Additionally, Envoy upstream has recently added support for Go extension as well dynamic module. These features were not available at the time when Cilium Envoy Go Extension was added.
