Previously, this would require the linkerd-jaeger extension to be installed. This comes with its own set of issues, namely managing yet another component of linkerd.

Since the tracing config is basically just environment variables and one volume mount, hoisting them up into the main control plane helm chart for the proxy injector to handle is likely the simplest and most maintainable path going forward.

The injector from the linkerd-jaeger extension will still work for the time being, and is interoprable to some degree as long as the injector in the extension is disabled. A follow-up to this PR should add documentation around this and how users can migrate from the extension to these configs.

IIUC, this should be followed up as well by parametrizing the deployment of the injector in linkerd-jaeger, disabling it by default?
