Remove the `linkerd-controller` pod (#6039)
* Remove the `linkerd-controller` pod

Now that we got rid of the `Version` API (#6000) and the destination API forwarding business in `linkerd-controller` (#5993), we can get rid of the `linkerd-controller` pod.

## Removals

- Deleted everything under `/controller/api/public` and `/controller/cmd/public-api`.
- Moved `/controller/api/public/test_helper.go` to `/controller/api/destination/test_helper.go` because those are really utils for destination testing. I also extracted from there the prometheus mock structs and put that under `/pkg/prometheus/test_helper.go`, which is now by both the `linkerd diagnostics endpoints` and the `metrics-api` tests, removing some duplication.
- Deleted the `controller.yaml` and `controller-rbac.yaml` helm templates along with the `publicAPIResources` and `publicAPIProxyResources` helm values.

## Health checks

- Removed the `can initialize the client` check given such client is no longer needed. The `linkerd-api` section was left with only the check `control pods are ready`, so I moved that under the `linkerd-existence` section and got rid of the `linkerd-api` section altogether.
- In that same `linkerd-existence` section, got rid of the `controller pod is running` check.

## Other changes

- Fixed the Control Plane section of the dashboard, taking account the disappearance of `linkerd-controller` and previously, of `linkerd-sp-validator`.

Extract from public-api all the Prometheus dependencies, and moves things into a new viz component 'linkerd-metrics-api' (#5560)
* 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
