Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I am using Gloo Gateway 1.17 and trying to setup externalTrafficPolicy: "Local" in a custom GatewayParameters object (since I am using GCP’s GKE, I need to preserve the original client IP address in the Service/LoadBalancer)

it seems like spec.kube.service.externalTrafficPolicy is currently not supported in GatewayParameters

Describe the solution you'd like

GatewayParameters resource should support spec.kube.service.externalTrafficPolicy

Describe alternatives you've considered

@sam-heilbron will this be addressed in an upcoming release?

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. We have an open PR to introduce this functionality: solo-io#10420.

As it stands right now, we are not considering this a release blocker to our 1.18.0 release which is targeted for a week from now. However, we intend to merge this shortly after, and have it available in a 1.19.0-beta1. Would that be reasonable?
