Change loadbalancer type for HCP deployments

The Kubevirt(HCP) clusters do not have their loadbalancer installed and rely on the host loadblancer( like netallb) when a loadbalancer is created.So when the Submariner exposes the submariner-gateway loadbalancer service with ServiceExternalTrafficPolicy locally does not work, as the traffic from the remotecluster first lands on the host cluster. Hence the traffic policy need to be updated to cluster in these deployments. A new parameter hostedCluster is added to submariner config, if set the traffic policy will be set to cluster Signed-off-by: Aswin Suryanarayanan <[email protected]>
