pgv: validation support for Bootstrap/xDS/filters. (envoyproxy#2146)

This patch lands checking via https://github.com/lyft/protoc-gen-validate in Envoy for bootstrap, xDS ingestion and during filter instantiation.

Risk Level: Medium (things might start blowing up on config ingestion that were slipping through before).
Testing: Mostly negative tests for bootstrap/xDS/filters, since the happy path is already validated through the existing test suite.
