Description

just like https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/issues/14696, https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/issues/15895, https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/issues/12893, it would be useful if we could configure bootstrap extensions dynamically - especially Wasm Service which runs in the main thread and does some async processing (e.g. metrics aggregations) in parallel to workers.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the referenced issues (#14696, #15895, #12893) to understand how dynamic bootstrap extensions were added for other plugins like Wasm. Focus on the bootstrap configuration loading and extension factory registration. Then explore the Wasm service code to identify where dynamic loading should be integrated.
