Add a knob to make per_connection_buffer_limit_bytes of cluster configurable

[aoledk]

Description:

EG can configure per_connection_buffer_limit_bytes on xDS Listener currently via #2600, not available to configure per_connection_buffer_limit_bytes on xDS Cluster, default to 32KB. A new knob will be better for entire buffer sizing control of Envoy provisioned by EG.

@ShyunnY Perhaps this feature should be implemented via BackendTrafficPolicy, similar way like https://gateway.envoyproxy.io/latest/api/extension_types/#connection works. And I'm not working on this Issue.

+1 in general. @aoledk - can you maybe describe the scenario where this is needed?

@guydc When EG is used as L4 proxy and serves massive long lived TCP connection, the buffer size of <Downstream, Envoy> and <Envoy, Upstream> connections should be controlled, to reduce memory consumption of Envoy.
