Support NginxProxy CRD and global tracing settings

Problem: As a user of NGF
I want to set the collection point for my traces for my installation of NGF
So that I can ensure all my traces are sent to the same collection platform.

Solution: Implement the NginxProxy CRD which contains the fields required to configure the collection point for tracing. This resource is attached to the GatewayClass. If the resource is not found, a condition will be set on the GatewayClass to indicate this. The GatewayClass will continue to be Accepted even if the parametersRef is invalid.

This configuration sets the `http` context-level otel directives. The otel module is loaded conditionally based on the existence of this configuration.

Note: tracing is not enabled by this configuration, this only sets high level options. #1828 is required to actually enable tracing on a per-route basis.
