max connection annotations not being taken into account with extension services for external authorization

[codymoss-bnet]

What steps did you take and what happened:
[A clear and concise description of what the bug is.]

1. Followed guide: https://projectcontour.io/docs/1.28/guides/external-authorization/ to get an external auth setup
2. Alter the service projectcontour-auth/htpasswd to have annotations

annotations:
    projectcontour.io/max-connections: "8192"
    projectcontour.io/max-pending-requests: "8192"
    projectcontour.io/max-requests: "8192"

3. Run the following commands to expose envoy admin api

ENVOY_POD=$(kubectl -n projectcontour get pod -l app=envoy -o name | head -1)
kubectl -n projectcontour port-forward $ENVOY_POD 9001

4. In another terminal window check extension service is now set to 8192 via api call curl http://localhost:9001/clusters

After checking though I see extension service is still set to 1024 for max_connections, max_pending_requests, and max_requests.

What did you expect to happen:

I expected for the annotations to function like http proxy services and be picked up and changed in the envoy clusters

Anything else you would like to add:
[Miscellaneous information that will assist in solving the issue.]

I went through the guide to have a repeatable pattern. I tested via my local rancher-desktop cluster but I saw the same result with contour 1.25 on an EKS cluster running 1.26.x.

Let me know if you need anymore info.

Environment:

• Contour version: 1.28
• Kubernetes version: (use kubectl version):

Client Version: v1.29.0
Kustomize Version: v5.0.4-0.20230601165947-6ce0bf390ce3
Server Version: v1.28.7+k3s1

• Kubernetes installer & version: rancher-desktop v1.13.1
• Cloud provider or hardware configuration: Mac os M1
• OS (e.g. from /etc/os-release): Senoma 4.4.1 (23E224)
