This releases introduces default probe authorization. This means that on
clusters that use a default `deny` policy, probes do not have to be explicitly
authorized using policy resources. Additionally, the
`policyController.probeNetworks` Helm value has been added, which allows users
to configure the networks that probes are expected to be performed from.

Additionally, the `linkerd authz` command has been updated to support the policy
resources AuthorizationPolicy and HttpRoute.

Finally, some smaller changes include allowing to disable `linkerd-await` on
control plane components (using the existing `proxy.await` configuration) and
changing the default iptables mode back to `legacy` to support more cluster
environments by default.
