Description
Write an integration test that ensures that a client proxy records the proper metrics (i.e. reflecting mutual identity, pod metadata) when a client application makes an opaque TCP connection to a meshed server.
We should test at least:
* Kubernetes Service IPs;
* Individual pod IPs.

Research direction
Start by locating existing Linkerd integration tests for opaque TCP traffic, client-proxy metrics, and Kubernetes Service or pod IP connections. Run the relevant integration-test setup first; done means the test verifies metrics containing mutual identity and pod metadata for both Service IPs and individual pod IPs.
