A few small improvements to our docker build scripts:
* Centralized the list of docker images to a DOCKER_IMAGES variable defined in _docker.sh
* Build scripts now honor the TAG variable, if defined
* Unused docker-images script has been removed
We also update the `--control-plane-version` Linkerd install flag to affect the policy controller version as well.
Taken together, this enables the following workflow for building and deploying changes to individual Linkerd components. For example, suppose you wish to deploy changes which only affect the controller image:
```console
# Begin by building all images at main with a dev tag
> TAG=alex-dev bin/docker-build
# OR begin by retagging all images from a recent release
> bin/docker-retag-all edge-21.8.4 alex-dev
# Make changes and then rebuild specific component
> TAG=alex-dev bin/docker-build-controller
# Load images into kind
> TAG=alex-dev bin/image-load --kind --cluster alex
# Install Linkerd
> bin/linkerd install --control-plane-version alex-dev --proxy-version alex-dev | k apply -f -
```

* Protobuf changes:
- Moved `healthcheck.proto` back from viz to `proto/common` as it remains being used by the main `healthcheck.go` library (it was moved to viz by #5510).
- Extracted from `viz.proto` the IP-related types and put them in `/controller/gen/common/net` to be used by both the public and the viz APIs.
* Added chart templates for new viz linkerd-metrics-api pod
* Spin-off viz healthcheck:
- Created `viz/pkg/healthcheck/healthcheck.go` that wraps the original `pkg/healthcheck/healthcheck.go` while adding the `vizNamespace` and `vizAPIClient` fields which were removed from the core `healthcheck`. That way the core healthcheck doesn't have any dependencies on viz, and viz' healthcheck can now be used to retrieve viz api clients.
- The core and viz healthcheck libs are now abstracted out via the new `healthcheck.Runner` interface.
- Refactored the data plane checks so they don't rely on calling `ListPods`
- The checks in `viz/cmd/check.go` have been moved to `viz/pkg/healthcheck/healthcheck.go` as well, so `check.go`'s sole responsibility is dealing with command business. This command also now retrieves its viz api client through viz' healthcheck.
* Removed linkerd-controller dependency on Prometheus:
- Removed the `global.prometheusUrl` config in the core values.yml.
- Leave the Heartbeat's `-prometheus` flag hard-coded temporarily. TO-DO: have it automatically discover viz and pull Prometheus' endpoint (#5352).
* Moved observability gRPC from linkerd-controller to viz:
- Created a new gRPC server under `viz/metrics-api` moving prometheus-dependent functions out of the core gRPC server and into it (same thing for the accompaigning http server).
- Did the same for the `PublicAPIClient` (now called just `Client`) interface. The `VizAPIClient` interface disappears as it's enough to just rely on the viz `ApiClient` protobuf type.
- Moved the other files implementing the rest of the gRPC functions from `controller/api/public` to `viz/metrics-api` (`edge.go`, `stat_summary.go`, etc.).
- Also simplified some type names to avoid stuttering.
* Added linkerd-metrics-api bootstrap files. At the same time, we strip out of the public-api's `main.go` file the prometheus parameters and other no longer relevant bits.
* linkerd-web updates: it requires connecting with both the public-api and the viz api, so both addresses (and the viz namespace) are now provided as parameters to the container.
* CLI updates and other minor things:
- Changes to command files under `cli/cmd`:
- Updated `endpoints.go` according to new API interface name.
- Updated `version.go`, `dashboard` and `uninstall.go` to pull the viz namespace dynamically.
- Changes to command files under `viz/cmd`:
- `edges.go`, `routes.go`, `stat.go` and `top.go`: point to dependencies that were moved from public-api to viz.
- Other changes to have tests pass:
- Added `metrics-api` to list of docker images to build in actions workflows.
- In `bin/fmt` exclude protobuf generated files instead of entire directories because directories could contain both generated and non-generated code (case in point: `viz/metrics-api`).
* Add retry to 'tap API service is running' check
* mc check shouldn't err when viz is not available. Also properly set the log in multicluster/cmd/root.go so that it properly displays messages when --verbose is used
