Changes

Fixed a bug where overlapping wildcard hosts in a VirtualService produces incorrect routing configurations when wildcard services were selected (e.g. in ServiceEntry). (Issue #45415)
Fixed an issue where istioctl proxy-config ecds didn’t display all EcdsConfigDump.
Fixed an issue where new endpoints may not be sent to proxies. (Issue #48373)
Fixed an issue where installing with Stackdriver and using custom configurations would prevent Stackdriver from being enabled.
Fixed an issue where long-lived connections, TCP bytes and gRPC, could result in a proxy memory leak.
