drop unnecessary external name svc

[dprotaso]

When debugging the visibility split issues in knative-extensions/net-contour#1149 I realize we don't need the extra ExternalName K8s Service.

It was being used to supply a DNS entry that would map a host name to the contour internal envoy service.

As an alternative we can add a GATEWAY_HOST env var that will configure the conformance httpproxy app to just dial the envoy service directly.

note: I tested the change in a wip commit here: knative-extensions/net-contour@c0ebfc8

it passed conformance tests here: https://prow.knative.dev/view/gs/knative-prow/pr-logs/pull/knative-extensions_net-contour/1149/integration-tests_net-contour_main/1877181980768997376

How does this change affect Kourier, Istio?

[dprotaso]

For kourier/istio should be fine. I think it should be fine for mesh as well.
