Geo: Silent mode - Suppress outbound Deprecated Kubernetes Connections

Problem to solve

When performing testing on an instance with silent mode turned on, the instance can modify the state of external clusters via this connection. These connection can change the state of external clusters which is not desirable under silent mode.

Silent mode is designed to allow admins to suppress outbound communications from a GitLab instance and perform a range of tests against that instance without these tests generating egress traffic.

Proposal

When silent mode is enabled, suppress outgoing connection traffic to clusters outside of the GitLab instance.

Intended users

Feature Usage Metrics

The metrics for this feature will be tied to metric of silent mode.
