/kind feature

What this PR does / why we need it:

For IPv6 support, we should handle it more elegantly by introducing a Helm toggle to let users manually enable or disable it.

IPv6 is not a mandatory requirement. In IPv4-only environments where the Linux kernel has net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1 , forcing Envoy to listen on IPv6 causes startup bind failures, leading to process exit. Currently, users must manually edit the chart source code to disable this behavior.

Adding a Helm value option allows users to toggle this feature based on their environment, or enables upstream chart integrations to control it programmatically.

This better conforms to some conventions for network‑related components.

I recommend disabling this toggle by default. Enabling it directly may impose additional requirements on deployment.

@eating-chen @ahg-g This is a follow-up for PR #1920 . I think there should be a toggle to support ipv6 more elegantly. Please help check whether it makes sense, thanks

Pull request overview

This PR adds a Helm value toggle to control whether the standalone chart’s Envoy proxy binds an IPv6 wildcard listener (::) via additional_addresses, avoiding startup bind failures in IPv4-only environments where IPv6 is disabled at the kernel level.

Changes:

  • Introduces .Values.router.proxy.ipv6 (default false) to control IPv6 listener binding.
  • Conditionally renders Envoy additional_addresses blocks for the readiness listener (19001) and HTTP listener (8081) based on that value.
