Description

## Describe the feature
Contour supports envoy's external authorization feature through the ExtensionService resource and it would a great add-on to knative serving to support this feature within its core configuration.

For example, support a contour knative config map that can define a default ExtensionService used by all knative services. Also support a service level annotation that disables the use of the ExtensionService.

Research direction

Start by tracing how Contour ExtensionService resources and Knative configuration are represented, then identify the configuration entry point for a default service-wide setting. Define how a Contour config map selects the default ExtensionService and how a service-level annotation disables it. Done means both configuration paths are supported and covered by tests.
