IHAC who is facing issues when configuring jwksURI in
RequestAuthentication resource for HTTPS URIs.

Error:

2021-07-22T13:56:57.275247Z     warning envoy
config  [external/envoy/source/common/config/grpc_subscription_impl.cc:101]

validation"] | caused by DataSourceValidationError.InlineString:
["value length must be at least " '\x01' " bytes"]): providers {

I have researched and I found out that the issue was also raised upstream
<https://github.com/istio/istio/issues/24629> and the PR
<https://github.com/istio/istio/pull/25934/files> also seems to have been
released for the istio master branch and 1.6 branch as well.

Comparing the code with our maistra 2.0 branch it does not seem to be
present but the 2.1 branch has it.

References:
1) Maistra GH 2.0
<https://github.com/maistra/istio/blob/maistra-2.0/pilot/pkg/security/authn/v1beta1/policy_applier.go>

2) Maistra GH 2.1
<https://github.com/maistra/istio/blob/maistra-2.1/pilot/pkg/security/authn/v1beta1/policy_applier.go>

Should we be creating a backport for this issue ?
