Description
**Problem**
We're running Knative in a managed environment where the eventing infrastructure is something that will be hidden from the user and is really there to drive traffic to the hosted KnServices. In this environment, if we allow the user to specify external URLs for the destinations of the Eventing components (e.g. Sink in an adapter) then we'd get into a situation where people can setup the KnEventing infrastructure to route traffic to something outside of the cluster. So, if the infrastructure is meant to be cost free the user would then have a loop-hole to free cloud eventing infrastructure.
We'd like an operator option to generate an error if any Destination resulted in a URI that is not local to the cluster. Default would be to not enforce such restrictions.

Operators
**Exit Criteria**
Enable the flag and specify some internet facing URI as a Destination - should result in an error while trying to create the eventing resource with that Destination.

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating where Eventing Destination URIs are validated and where operator options are defined; then add coverage for rejecting an external URI when enforcement is enabled while preserving the default behavior.
