FR: Disable service topology view when it's not useful or allow manual disable or tab reorder #23427

Feature Description

The topology UI view sounds great, but as it's documentation notes:

The topology visualization requires services to be using service mesh via sidecar proxies.

Ergo, if I in fact am not using connect via sidecar proxies, this view will never be capable of showing me anything and it should disable itself automatically, or the ui_config block should allow me to turn it off.

An alternative implementation would be to have a config option of choosing the order of the tabs which would allow sorting Instances to be the first one again like it used to be as that tab is useful to admins who are not able to use topology.

Use Case(s)

The topology tab is now the first and default tab when selecting a service, regardless if topology is functioning or not. When it is incapable of working, this is very disruptive to the previous default of showing the running instances as the admin needs to click every single time into the instances tab.
