Fixes envoyproxy#540
This PR is fixing issue envoyproxy#540: the xds protocol defines that for the resource types Listener and Cluster, when using sotw watches, the cache must return as part of the response all existing resources matching the requests if not wildcard.
Currently the control-plane will only return the modified resources on cache updates, and the protocol states that the client should interpret such a response as a deletion
In simple cache this distinction is not applicable as we currently always return all resources. While we may want to improve this behavior in the future (e.g. to avoid sending all clusters if only one was updated in delta, or to send a single route configuration in sotw on update), this is out of scope of this PR as this requires keeping more state
