Support for Istio Fault Injection

Problem to solve

Testing for faults in a service mesh can be a complex task. In fact, a service mesh in general can be a very complex system. Istio provides primatives for creating, managing and maintaining a service mesh and we already have plans for integration from ~Monitor. We should support fault injection at the ~"system testing" phase of the DevOps lifecyle to ensure that no new issues are introduced with a given change
