Simplify the code and reduce possible error scenarios by dropping
fsnotify-based reconfiguration from nfd-master and nfd-worker. Also
eliminates repeated re-configuration in scenarios where kubelet
continuosly touches the (every minute) mounted file (configmap) on the
filesystem.
Also modifies the Helm and kustomize deployments so that nfd-master,
nfd-worker and nfd-topology-updater pods are restarted on configmap
updates. In kustomize, the slght downside of this is the name of the
config map(s) depends on the content, so every time a user customizes
the config data, the old unused configmap will be left and must be
garbage-collected manually.

The feature gate is locked to true. That is, it is not possible to revert
back to the gPRC-based communication which makes the gRPC API ready for
removal.
Bump the required Kubernetes version to v1.24. In practice this is the
minimum Kubernetes version as our deployment (both kustomize and Helm)
depend on the gRPC container probes feature of Kubernetes.
Disable AVX10 as unnecessary as AVX10_LEVEL is better suited for
checking AVX10 compatibility. There is not yet any hardware with the
feature so disabling it shouldn't cause problems for users.
The NodeFeatureGroup is an NFD-specific custom resource that is designed for
grouping nodes based on their features. NFD-Master watches for NodeFeatureGroup
objects in the cluster and updates the status of the NodeFeatureGroup object
with the list of nodes that match the feature group rules. The NodeFeatureGroup
rules follow the same syntax as the NodeFeatureRule rules.

Bring back the -enable-nodefeature-api command line flag and the
corresponding enableNodeFeatureApi helm config value that were
removed without deprecation when the NodeFeatureAPI feature gate was
introduced. The thinking behind this change is to not break existing
users (without warning) unless totally unavoidable. Now the
-enable-nodefeature-api flag is marked as deprecated and slated for
removal in NFD v0.17.
The NodeFeatureAPI feature gate and the -enable-nodefeature-api flag
work together so that the NodeFeature API is disabled (gRPC is enabled,
instead) if either of them is set to false.
This patch selectively reverts parts of
06c4733bc5.
Now that we have support for feature gates deprecate the autoDefaultNs
config option of nfd-master and replace it with a new alpha feature gate
DisableAutoPrefix (defaults to false). Using a feature gate to handle
and communicate these kind of changes, where the default behavior is
intended to be changed in a future release, feels much more natural than
using random flags/options.
The combined logic of the feature gate and the config option is a
logical OR over disabling auto-prefixing. That is, auto-prefixing is
disabled if either the feature gate or the config options is used set to
disable it:
| DisableAutoPrefix (feature gate)
| false | true
-------------------- | --------------------------------
autoDefaultNs true | ON | OFF
(config opt) false | OFF | OFF
Plan the removal of the -crd-controller flag along with the gRPC API.
This flag does not make much sense after that as all communication with
nfd-worker is based on CRDs - with the CRD controller disabled
nfd-master is virtually a functionless stub.
Add new autoDefaultNs (default is "true") config option to nfd-master.
Setting the config option to false stops NFD from automatically adding
the "feature.node.kubernetes.io/" prefix to labels, annotations and
extended resources. Taints are not affected as for them no prefix is
automatically added. The user-visible part of enabling the option change
is that NodeFeatureRules, local feature files, hooks and configuration
of the "custom" may need to be altereda (if the auto-prefixing is
relied on).
For now, the config option defaults to "true", meaning no change in
default behavior. However, the intent is to change the default to
"false" in a future release, deprecating the option and eventually
removing it (forcing it to "false").
The goal of stopping doing "auto-prefixing" is to simplify the operation
(of nfd and users). Make the naming more straightforward and easier to
understand and debug (kind of WYSIWYG), eliminating peculiar corner
cases:
1. Make validation simpler and unambiguous
2. Remove "overloading" of names, i.e. the mapping two values to the
same actual name. E.g. previously something like
labels:
feature.node.kubernetes.io/foo: bar
foo: baz
Could actually result in node label:
feature.node.kubernetes.io/foo: baz
3. Make the processing/usagee of the "rule.matched" and "local.labels"
feature in NodeFeatureRules unambiguous and more understadable. E.g.
previously you could have node label
"feature.node.kubernetes.io/local-foo: bar" but in the NodeFeatureRule
you'd need to use the unprefixed name "local-foo" or the fully
prefixed name, depending on what was specified in the feature file (or
hook) on the node(s).
NOTE: setting autoDefaultNs to false is a breaking change for users who
rely on automatic prefixing with the default feature.node.kubernetes.io/
namespace. NodeFeatureRules, feature files, hooks and custom rules
(configuration of the "custom" source of nfd-worker) will need to be
altered. Unprefixed labels, annoations and extended resources will be
denied by nfd-master.
Now that the NodeFeature API has been set enabled by default, the gRPC
mode will be deprecated and with it all flags and features around it.
For nfd-master, flags
-port, -key-file, -ca-file, -cert-file, -verify-node-name, -enable-nodefeature-api
are now marked as deprecated.
For nfd-worker flags
-enable-nodefeature-api, -ca-file, -cert-file, -key-file, -server, -server-name-override
are now marked as deprecated.
Deprecated flags, as well as gRPC related code will be removed in future
releases.

NFD already has the capability to discover whether baremetal / host
machines support Intel TDX. Now, the next step is to add support for
discovering whether a node is TDX protected (as in, a virtual machine
started using Intel TDX).
In order to do so, we've decided to go for a new `cpu-security.tdx`
property, called `protected` (`cpu-security.tdx.protected`).

This PR aims to optimize the process of updating nodes with
corresponding features. In fact, previously, we were updating nodes
sequentially even though they are independent from each other.
Therefore, we integrated new components: LabelersNodePool which is
responsible for spininng a goroutine whenever there's a request for
updating nodes, and a Workqueue which is responsible for holding nodes names
that should be updated.

Use a separate NODE_ADDRESS environment variable in the default value of
-kubelet-config-uri (instead of NODE_NAME that was previously used).
Also change the kustomize and Helm deployments to set this variable to
node IP address. This should make the default deployment more robust,
making it work in scenarios where node name does not resolve to the node
ip, e.g. nodename != hostname.
This PR adds a config option for setting the NFD API controller resync period.
The resync period is only activated when the NodeFeature API has been
enabled (with -enable-nodefeature-api).

Mark the -resource-labels flag (and the corresponding resourceLabels
config option) as deprecated. We now support managing extended resources
via NodeFeatureRule objects. This kludge deserves to go, eventually.
Similar to the nfd-worker, in this PR we want to support the
dynamic run-time configurability through a config file for the nfd-master.
We'll use a json or yaml configuration file along with the fsnotify in
order to watch for changes in the config file. As a result, we're
allowing dynamic control of logging params, allowed namespaces,
extended resources, label whitelisting, and denied namespaces.
