[Bug] When installing via ArgoCD (GitOps) the istio-system namespace is not created

Creating the namespace by hand gets past that error, but an initial look seemed to suggest that the namespace creation should be handled, and creating it is the default.

https://github.com/tetratelabs/terraform-eksblueprints-tetrate-istio-addon/blob/main/locals.tf#L13

That being said, it is not clear to me that the create_namespace value is actually being used anywhere.

Istio deployed and was successful on that example, however failed to make cert-manager & ingress-nginx work with tag v4.03/02

@spkane How did you manage sg in example above? eks_worker_security_group_id = local.eks_worker_security_group_id

@spkane How did you manage sg in example above? eks_worker_security_group_id = local.eks_worker_security_group_id

@ZeroDeth I am just reading it from the Terraform state that created the node group and then creating a local.

 eks_worker_security_group_id = data.terraform_remote_state.eks.outputs.eks_worker_security_group_id
