Changes

• Fixed an issue when deleting a custom gateway using an Istio Operator custom resource, other gateways are restarted. (Issue #40577)

• Fixed an issue with missing service_name in Telemetry API when configuring Datadog tracing provider. (Issue #38573)

• Fixed an issue where a wrong schema configuration caused the Istio Operator to go into an error loop. (Issue #40876)

• Fixed an issue where gateway pods did not respect the global.imagePullPolicy specified in the Helm values.

• Added warning validation messages when a DestinationRule specifies failover policies but does not provide an OutlierDetection policy. Previously, istiod silently ignored the failover settings.

• Improved when Wasm module downloading fails and fail_open is true, a RBAC filter allows all traffic to pass to Envoy instead of the original Wasm filter. Previously, the given Wasm filter itself was passed to Envoy in this case, but it may cause errors because some fields of Wasm configuration are optional in Istio, but not in Envoy.
