Description

*Description*:
Have a well defined API for creating OpenFGA Check queries in the Security Policy, making it easier to leverage OpenFGA for authorization decisions in Envoy Gateway.

Ideally you should be able to pick up parameter values for the Open FGA Query API request from headers or query parameters in the request.

This simplifies integration with OpenFGA, as the adopter no longer have to write a separate service that sits between Envoy and OpenFGA.

I believe this probably would need some work in Envoy Proxy to make it work though.
