Route & Redirect with envoy

An example envoy.yaml showing how to route & redirect.

There are different options, see here

https://www.envoyproxy.io/docs/envoy/latest/api-v2/api/v2/route/route.proto#route-redirectaction

This envoy.yaml routes /taxgod and /taxgod/ (the second could probably be omitted because the first one should also match it, I think) to a new port and a different protocol.

/picockpit is simply redirected to /

and then finally / is routed to the target_picockpit backend
