Network: default egress policy Allow for Isolated networks on fresh installations

[andrijapanicsb]

Problem

On a fresh CloudStack installation, the built-in DefaultIsolatedNetworkOfferingWithSourceNatService offering — the Availability.Required offering that auto-creates a user's first isolated network at VM deployment — is persisted with egress_default_policy = false (Deny). The very first thing almost every new user hits is "my VMs have no internet", and the offering's egress policy is immutable after creation (updateNetworkOffering does not expose egressdefaultpolicy), so it cannot be fixed without DB surgery or recreating offerings and networks.

This Deny default is a historical artifact, inconsistent with the rest of the codebase:

• The API already defaults to Allow. NetworkOfferingBaseCmd.getEgressDefaultPolicy() returns true when the egressdefaultpolicy parameter is omitted, so offerings created via API/cloudmonkey default to Allow. Only the seeded built-in offering and the UI form said Deny.
• The UI contradicted the API. The Add Network Offering form preselected Deny and sent an explicit egressdefaultpolicy=false, overriding the API default for every offering created through the UI.
• The Kubernetes service requires Allow. KubernetesClusterManagerImpl rejects non-VPC offerings with egress Deny and creates its own default offering with egressdefaultpolicy = true; the shipped default isolated offering cannot be used for CKS today.
• VPC tiers have no baked-in Deny — allow-all (default_allow ACL) is a first-class choice.

What this PR changes

Scope is deliberately fresh installations and new offerings only:

1. ConfigurationServerImpl.createDefaultNetworkOfferings(): both built-in Isolated offerings are now seeded with egress_default_policy = true (Allow). For DefaultIsolatedNetworkOffering (no SourceNat, no Firewall service) the flag is not enforced anywhere; it is set for consistency so API responses don't advertise a misleading Deny policy.
2. AddNetworkOffering.vue: the Egress default policy radio now preselects Allow, aligning the UI with the documented API default. The parameter is still sent explicitly when Deny is selected; admins retain the choice per offering.
3. NetworkOfferingVO: adds the missing setEgressDefaultPolicy(boolean) setter.
4. Tests: ConfigurationServerImplTest verifies the seeded isolated offerings carry Allow (and that the shared offering seeding is unchanged); a new CreateNetworkOfferingCmdTest locks in the API behavior — Allow when the parameter is omitted, explicit Allow/Deny honored.

No global setting is introduced. Per-offering configurability already exists via the egressdefaultpolicy parameter, and a global setting would have had confusing dual semantics: consumed once at first-boot seeding (before an operator can realistically set it, since the configuration row does not exist yet at that point) versus consumed live by every later createNetworkOffering call — the two could silently disagree. It would also have applied to Shared/L2/VPC offering creation despite its Isolated-scoped name.

Backward compatibility — existing installations provably untouched

• createDefaultNetworkOfferings() runs only on first boot, guarded by the init configuration flag in persistDefaultValues(). It never executes on an upgraded installation.
• NetworkOfferingDaoImpl.persistDefaultNetworkOffering() is find-or-create by unique name; it never updates an existing row.
• No upgrade SQL is shipped, deliberately. Egress enforcement is evaluated live from the offering row (offering.isEgressDefaultPolicy() in NetworkOrchestrator/CommandSetupHelper) on every VR rule programming, so flipping existing rows would silently change the egress behavior of every existing isolated network — including networks created after the upgrade from the pre-existing built-in offering. On upgraded clouds, the built-in offering (and all networks using it, old and new) therefore keeps Deny. Giving upgraded clouds an Allow default for new networks without touching existing ones requires a new/versioned built-in offering and is left as an explicit follow-up.
• No schema change, no API change, no VR/systemvm change. The egress-Allow path (System rule → FW_EGRESS_RULES default ACCEPT, user rules inverted to DROP) is already exercised today by any admin-created Allow offering.

How to test

1. Fresh install (or simulator): listNetworkOfferings name=DefaultIsolatedNetworkOfferingWithSourceNatService → egressdefaultpolicy: true.
2. Deploy a VM without a network → isolated network auto-created → on the VR, iptables -S FW_EGRESS_RULES shows default ACCEPT; guest has outbound connectivity with no egress rules configured.
3. Add an egress rule → confirms inverted (DROP) rule semantics still apply.
4. Upgrade an existing DB → select name, egress_default_policy from network_offerings where name like 'DefaultIsolated%'; unchanged (0 for pre-existing rows).
5. UI → Add Network Offering with Firewall service checked → Egress default policy preselects Allow; selecting Deny still creates a Deny offering.
6. Unit tests: ConfigurationServerImplTest#testCreateDefaultNetworkOfferingsSeedsIsolatedOfferingsWithEgressAllow, CreateNetworkOfferingCmdTest.

Alternatives considered

• Global setting (network.isolated.default.egress.policy.allow, earlier revision of this PR): dropped for the lifecycle/naming reasons above.
• Upgrade-time SQL flipping existing offerings: rejected — changes egress behavior of existing networks in the field.
• A new/versioned Allow built-in offering for upgraded clouds (with the legacy Deny offering hidden from new network creation): viable follow-up PR, kept out of this one to keep the scope reviewable.

Reworked per review: dropped the global setting — it had inconsistent lifecycle semantics (read once at first-boot seeding, but live for every later createNetworkOffering call) and an Isolated-scoped name with API-wide effect.

What the PR does now: both built-in Isolated offerings are seeded with egress Allow on fresh installations only, and the UI form default is aligned with the existing API default (the UI was sending an explicit deny, overriding it). Added unit tests for the seeding values and the API default.

Upgrades remain untouched by construction — the seeding only runs on first boot and never updates an existing row, and no upgrade SQL is shipped on purpose. An Allow-by-default offering for new networks on upgraded clouds is a possible follow-up.
