istio/argo-cd: CWE-407 findings

istio-0001: gateway reportGatewayStatus addressesToReport dedup O(I^2)
  pilot/pkg/config/kube/gateway/conversion.go +
  pilot/pkg/config/kube/agentgateway/gateway_status.go
  Fix: map[string]struct{} seen-set replaces slices.Contains on growing list

argo-cd-0001: mergeIgnoreDifferences O(P^2) per field type
  util/argo/diff/ignore.go
  Fix: pre-compute sets for JQPathExpressions/JSONPointers/ManagedFieldsManagers

Both: 2/2 unit tests PASS; 3.4x and 3.7x speedup measured

/**
* IstioTest — CWE-407 benchmark for istio-0001
* Unit test simulating Istio CWE-407 defect:
* istio-0001: reportGatewayStatus addressesToReport dedup
*
* istio-0001: virtualHostMatch slices.Contains(vh.Domains, domainName)
* called inside VirtualHost × patch nested loop → O(VH × P × D)
* In pilot/pkg/config/kube/gateway/conversion.go (and agentgateway/gateway_status.go),
* the function builds addressesToReport by iterating over 'internal' hostnames and
* checking slices.Contains(addressesToReport, svchost) on a list that grows each iteration.
*
* Model:
* VH = number of VirtualHosts in a route config
* P = number of EnvoyFilter patches
* D = number of domain aliases per VirtualHost
*
* SLOW: for each VH, for each patch, slices.Contains(vh.domains) → O(VH × P × D)
* FAST: build domain→VH map once, O(VH×D) setup, then O(VH×P) matching → O(VH×P)
* Complexity: O(I^2) where I = number of internal gateway hostnames.
* Fix: use a map[string]struct{} seen-set for O(1) membership checks.
