I looked ad go-control-plane a bit and we ought to be able to use it to replace our custom xDS code. The interfaces are a bit different, but we should be able to bind the DAG in without a lot of trouble. This likely gives us ADS support for free.

Note that this doesn't solve configuration snapshot consistency issues (see various issues in the go-control-plane repo).

e5d6031 
Fixes projectcontour#2134 by implementing the Envoy go-control-plane to replace Contour's current custom xDS gRPC server.

The change utilizes snapshots as a way to represent a versioned point in time representation of the xDS
resources (RDS, CDS, EDS, LDS, SDS). When the dag is rebuilt or an endpoint changes, a new snapshot is
created with the updated caches for each xDS resource type.

@davinci26 @clayton-gonsalves @izturn do any of you have non-production environments where you could try switching to using the go-control-plane xDS server instead of the legacy Contour impl and see if you encounter any problems? We've been running E2E's daily with it enabled with success but some more real-world testing (ideally looking at performance/scale in addition to correctness) would be great too before we consider flipping the default in Contour.

Specifically, this involves setting the following in the Contour config file:

server:
  xds-server-type: envoy

For reference here is a PR that changes the default to be envoy: #6146

@davinci26 @clayton-gonsalves @izturn (or anyone else) just a gentle nudge here, is this change something you could test in a non-prod environment?

@skriss sorry had this message on draft.

We are working on a bunch of items to improve the operational stability of Contour so we are not taking many upstream changes but I think we should be able to take it and test it out in a couple of weeks from now.

Does this work?

That'd be great, thanks! We may make the change upstream soon-ish anyway to let CI start running regularly on it. It has already been running in our nightly tests and seems pretty stable.

@skriss, we have some non-prod environments, but we don't put a lot of payloads on them, we will try it later

Remaining work here is to fully remove the Contour xDS server option and implementation, can plan to do this for the 1.31 release assuming no major issues post-1.29. release.
