Issue:
Use gateway name as Proxy fleet name for Gateway Namespace mode
*Description*:
>Describe the issue.

Use the `Gateway` resource name as the Envoy Proxy Deployment, Service, HPA etc name in Gateway namespace mode https://gateway.envoyproxy.io/docs/tasks/operations/gateway-namespace-mode/#deploy-gateway-namespace-mode-example since its more intuitive for end users as well as safe to do (no collisions)

[optional *Relevant Links*:]
>Any extra documentation required to understand the issue.
