Quarkus Architecture Istio

Evolution of quarkus-architecture project. In this new project, the goal is to use Istio as Service Mesh.

Replace security, monitoring or resilience features in Quarkus delegating these features to Istio. So, Quarkus will only have the business logic.

The main adventage is to be able to build a native application, this is lighter artifacts, better boot time and less memory footprint.
