Add basic system test with utilities (#1274)

Problem: In order to test a full NGF system running in k8s, we need a framework that can easily deploy apps and send traffic.

Solution: Enhance the framework with functions to create apps and send traffic using port forwarding. Also added a basic test to utilize these functions as a proof of concept.

+# System Testing
+
+The tests in this directory are meant to be run on a live Kubernetes environment to verify a real system. These
+are similar to the existing [conformance tests](../conformance/README.md), but will verify things such as:
+
+- NGF-specific functionality
+- Non-Functional requirements testing (such as performance, scale, etc.)
+
+When running, the tests create a port-forward from your NGF Pod to localhost using a port chosen by the
+test framework. Traffic is sent over this port.
+
+Directory structure is as follows:
+
+- `framework`: contains utility functions for running the tests
+- `suite`: contains the test files
+
+**Note**: Existing NFR tests will be migrated into this testing `suite` and results stored in a `results` directory.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Kubernetes cluster.
+- Docker.
+- Golang.
+
+**Note**: all commands in steps below are executed from the `tests` directory
+
+```shell
+make
+```
+
+```text
+build-images                   Build NGF and NGINX images
+create-kind-cluster            Create a kind cluster
+delete-kind-cluster            Delete kind cluster
+help                           Display this help
+load-images                    Load NGF and NGINX images on configured kind cluster
+test                           Run the system tests against your default k8s cluster
+```
+
+**Note:** The following variables are configurable when running the below `make` commands:
+
+| Variable | Default | Description |
+|----------|---------|-------------|
+| TAG      | edge    | tag for the locally built NGF images |
+| PREFIX   | nginx-gateway-fabric | prefix for the locally built NGF image |
+| NGINX_PREFIX | nginx-gateway-fabric/nginx | prefix for the locally built NGINX image |
+| PULL_POLICY | Never | NGF image pull policy |
+| GW_API_VERSION | 1.0.0 | version of Gateway API resources to install |
+| K8S_VERSION | latest | version of k8s that the tests are run on |
+
+## Step 1 - Create a Kubernetes cluster
+
+This can be done in a cloud provider of choice, or locally using `kind`:
+
+```makefile
+make create-kind-cluster
+```
+
+> Note: The default kind cluster deployed is the latest available version. You can specify a different version by
+> defining the kind image to use through the KIND_IMAGE variable, e.g.
+
+```makefile
+make create-kind-cluster KIND_IMAGE=kindest/node:v1.27.3
+```
+
+## Step 2 - Build and Load Images
+
+Loading the images only applies to a `kind` cluster. If using a cloud provider, you will need to tag and push
+your images to a registry that is accessible from that cloud provider.
+
+```makefile
+make build-images load-images TAG=$(whoami)
+```
+
+## Step 3 - Run the tests
+
+```makefile
+make test TAG=$(whoami)
+```
+
+To run a specific test, you can "focus" it by adding the `F` prefix to the name. For example:
+
+```go
+It("runs some test", func(){
+    ...
+})
+```
+
+becomes:
+
+```go
+FIt("runs some test", func(){
+    ...
+})
+```
+
+This can also be done at higher levels like `Context`.
+
+To disable a specific test, add the `X` prefix to it, similar to the previous example:
+
+```go
+It("runs some test", func(){
+    ...
+})
+```
+
+becomes:
+
+```go
+XIt("runs some test", func(){
+    ...
+})
+```
+
+## Step 4 - Delete kind cluster
+
+```makefile
+make delete-kind-cluster
+```
