Changes

Fixed an issue where controller-assigned IPs did not respect per-proxy DNS capture the same way that ephemeral auto-allocated IPs did. (Issue #52609)
Fixed an issue where waypoints required DNS proxy to be enabled in order to consume auto-allocated IPs. (Issue #52746)
Fixed an issue where the ISTIO_OUTPUT iptables chain was not removed with pilot-agent istio-clean-iptables command. (Issue #52835)
Fixed an issue causing any portLevelSettings to be ignored in DestinationRules for waypoints. (Issue #52532)
Removed writing kubeconfig to CNI net directory. (Issue #52315)
Removed CNI_NET_DIR from the istio-cni ConfigMap, as it now does nothing. (Issue #52315)
Removed a change in Istio 1.23.0 causing regressions for ServiceEntries with multiple addresses defined. Note: the reverted change did fix an issue around missing addresses (#51747), but introduce a new set of issues. The original issue can be worked around by creating a sidecar resource. (Issue #52944), (Issue #52847)
