What kind of change does this PR introduce?

Added new external IP to envoy external IP. This is the IP before the last hop based on the x-forwarded-for header.

What is the current behavior?

Currently Envoy acts transparently in regards to x-forwarded-for headers, does not add or delete.

What is the new behavior?

envoy will append a new x-envoy-external-address header that will only include the IP address of before that last hop (i.e. the client before the ALB)

Additional context

Please see internal infra discussion on this vs at the auth layer
