Description

Related to https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/issues/2421.

Once /config_dump is created, we should be able to create a script that dumps the current configuration and creates a static config that is similar to the dynamic config. This will involve converting dynamic listeners to static, dynamic clusters to static, EDS clusters, to static, etc.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Create a script that uses the /config dump endpoint to fetch the current dynamic configuration and convert it into a static Envoy configuration. Focus on transforming dynamic listeners, clusters, and EDS clusters into their static representations. Ensure the script handles various dynamic config types and produces a valid static config file.
