Timofei Larkin d2361f3430 [virtual-machine] Exclude external VM services from Cilium BPF LB (#2357)
## What this PR does

Adds the `service.kubernetes.io/service-proxy-name: "cozy-proxy"` label
to VM LoadBalancer services when `external: true`. This tells Cilium to
completely ignore the service — no BPF entries, no DNAT, no wildcard
drops.

Routing continues to work through kube-ovn
(`networking.cozystack.io/wholeIP` annotation) and MetalLB L2
advertisement is unaffected.

**This fixes two issues:**

1. **Inter-tenant connectivity via public LB IPs**: With
`kube-proxy-replacement: true`, Cilium DNATs traffic destined to LB IPs
(on ports declared in the Service) to the backend pod IP *before*
evaluating network policies. The `CiliumClusterwideNetworkPolicy` then
sees a cross-tenant pod-to-pod flow and blocks it. Ports not in the
Service pass as "world" traffic and work fine — so does ICMP. With this
label, Cilium doesn't DNAT anything, all traffic is classified as
"world", and the existing `allow-external-communication` policy allows
it. Pod IP isolation between tenants is preserved.

2. **WholeIP broken on Cilium 1.19+** (#2327): Cilium 1.19 introduced
wildcard service drop entries (`cilium/cilium#40684`) that drop all
traffic to a LB IP on ports not declared in the Service, before it
reaches netfilter/cozy-proxy. With this label, no BPF entries are
created at all, so there's nothing to drop.

**Tested on our lab cluster:**
- Cilium 1.18.6: inter-tenant via LB IP ✅, pod IP blocked ✅, external
SSH ✅, WholeIP all ports ✅
- Cilium 1.19.1: same results ✅, no wildcard drops ✅
- MetalLB L2 advertisement: unaffected ✅
- Other services without the label: unaffected ✅

**Note:** The `externalPorts` / PortList filtering is currently not
enforced at the network level (the `wholeIP` annotation causes kube-ovn
to route all ports regardless). This was the case before this change and
is a separate concern — per-VM CiliumNetworkPolicies could be
re-introduced for that (ref: `4cbf562a`, #1601).
