Fixes
- Use kubectl patch rather than read then write pattern to update status on custom resources, which makes gloo a less noisy client to the k8s apiserver. NOTE: Users will need to apply new CRDs with this release to get CRD field defaulting behavior that this fix depends on, or else status updates to brand new resources (i.e.
statusorstatus.statusesdoes not exist) will fail. Even if these status updates fail, data-plane traffic and control-plane updates will be unaffected and work as usual. (#7076)
