Remove mutual exclusivity in calico: NAT and router mode #9255

What type of PR is this?
/kind bug

What this PR does / why we need it:

In special cases it's needed to enable peer_with_router with NAT in calico, such as in labs.
But these have been implemented as mutually exclusive, so there is no way to enable both of them.

So, I offer a optional feature that forcefully enables NAT mode even when `peer_with_router` is enabled: * `peer_with_router_nat_outgoing` to forcefully enable NAT when `peer_with_router` is enabled (default value: false).

So, I think it's better to release the mutual exclusivity between nat_outgoing and peer_with_router.
If someone wants to use peer_with_router without the NAT, he/she should disable the nat_outgoing manually.

Which issue(s) this PR fixes:

Fixes #

Special notes for your reviewer:

Does this PR introduce a user-facing change?:

[Calico] The NAT (`nat_outgoing`) would not be disabled automatically when enabling `peer_with_router`.

Hi @kerryeon. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a kubernetes-sigs member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Instructions for interacting with me using PR comments are available here. If you have questions or suggestions related to my behavior, please file an issue against the kubernetes/test-infra repository.

Then the following variables need to be set:

* `nat_outgoing` to enable NAT (default value: true).
* `peer_with_router_nat_outgoing` to forcefully enable NAT (default value: false).

to forcefully enable NAT (default value: false).

seems to make confusions because nat_outgoing is to enable NAT and the default value is true.
That means the NAT is already enabled by default.

Can we control this use case with the existing nat_outgoing only?

Sure, we can remove the mutual exclusivity between nat_outgoing and not peer_with_router by ignoring the peer_with_router flag.

But it may causes for users that enable peer_with_router to get side-effect.

Regardless, the direction of concise and complete improvement seems to fit the content of the review, so I made a new commit.

This original line has been added since #3086
And I could not find the reason of this condition.
The new line

"natOutgoing": {{ nat_outgoing|default(false) }}

seems pretty straightforward for me.
