We currently install istioctl from the official Github releases while building the base docker image. This was done to ensure the version of istio was up-to-date with the latest.

This PR switches the install location to come from the Azure Linux package feed. Per discussions with the team publishing the packages, they maintain a 5-day SLA for republishing newly released versions to the feed. The Azure Linux package feed version is built to ensure compliance with our internal security scanning tools.

if this is going to be shipped from mariner linux, we should also remove istioctl auto-update chore PR in the github action. Rootless docker kit chore is required for vscode.
