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.
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.

It allows NFD-master to be run in active-passive way when running
multiple instances of NFD-master to prevent multiple components
from updating same custom resources.

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.

Document the usage of the NodeFeature CRD API. Also re-organize the
documentation a bit, moving the description of NodeFeatureRule
controller from customization guide to nfd-master usage page.
Introduce two main sections "Deployment" and "Usage" and move "Developer
guide" to the top level, too. In particular, split the huge
deployment-and-usage file into multiple parts under the new main
sections. Move customization guide from "Advanced" to "Usage".
This patch also renames "Advanced" to "Reference" as only that is left
there is reference documentation.
