Allocate a default IPv6 address and reserved static IPv4 addresses for load balancers #735
Every new load balancer gets a public IPv6 address or subnet automatically.
A tenant can explicitly reserve one or more static public IPv4 addresses and bind them to a load balancer, for legacy clients and firewall allowlists.
#702 builds the platform-managed pools and records who holds each address. This issue builds the two allocation flows on top of it. An IPv4 reservation is its own object. It outlives the load balancer it's bound to, so a tenant can delete and recreate a load balancer and keep the address its clients have allowlisted.
Acceptance criteria
Creating a load balancer allocates an IPv6 address or subnet from its region's pool, with no input from the tenant
Deleting the load balancer releases its IPv6 allocation
A tenant can reserve a static IPv4 address in a region, and the reservation persists until the tenant releases it
A tenant can bind one or more reserved IPv4 addresses to a load balancer in the same region, and unbind them
A reservation can be bound to only one load balancer at a time
Deleting a load balancer unbinds its IPv4 reservations without releasing them
The VIPs written into NetworkRule are exactly the load balancer's IPv6 allocation plus its bound IPv4 reservations
Phase 1 of #698. Depends on #702 for the pools and on #696 for the tenant-facing resources. IPv4 traffic needs #705.
