Description

# TL;DR
Script to migrate Hardware Load Balancers' routing rules into EnvoyConfigs

# Why

- Potential users of Envoy need to migrate legacy systems from Proprietary vendors
- Envoy's Control Plane APIs are awesome, but seamless migration from legacy to Software Layer-7 Proxies is expensive and cost-inhibiting
- Open automation tools to migrate from Proprietary DSLs into Envoy config syntax could save a lot of time for Envoy Users

# What
- Proprietary vendors have open specs
- Create a syntax tree parser to migrate from a vendor's DSL into Envoy config
- Provide automated *validation* scripts to validate the conversion
