Add Istio Ambient Mode

In order for Istio to include namespaces in ambient mode, the label `istio.io/dataplane-mode` must be set to `ambient`. As an alternative to rejecting Namespace definitions which don't already contain this label, it can be added automatically. This policy adds the label `istio.io/dataplane-mode` set to `ambient` for all new Namespaces.
