Document built-in RDT labels to be deprecated and removed in a future
release. The plan is that the default built-in RDT labels would not be
created anymore, but the RDT features would still be available for
NodeFeatureRules to consume.
The RDT labels are not very useful (they don't e.g indicate if the
features are really enabled in kernel or if the resctrlfs is mounted).
The total amount of keys that can be used on a specific TDX system is
exposed via the cgroups misc.capacity. See:
```
$ cat /sys/fs/cgroup/misc.capacity
tdx 31
```
The first step to properly manage the amount of keys present in a node
is exposing it via the NFD, and that's exactly what this commit does.
An example of how it ends up being exposed via the NFD:
```
$ kubectl get node 984fee00befb.jf.intel.com -o jsonpath='{.metadata.labels}' | jq | grep tdx.total_keys
"feature.node.kubernetes.io/cpu-security.tdx.total_keys": "31",
```

Access to the kubelet state directory may raise concerns in some setups, added an option to disable it.
The feature is enabled by default.

Bump cpuid version to v2.2.4 in the go.mod so that WRMSRNS (
Non-Serializing Write to Model Specific Register) and MSRLIST
(Read/Write List of Model Specific Registers) instructions are
detectable.

Make distroless/base as the base image for the default image,
effectively making the minimal image as the default. Add a new "full"
image variant that corresponds the previous default image. The
"*-minimal" container image tag is provided for backwards compatibility.
The practical user impact of this change is that hook support is limited
to statically linked ELF binaries. Bash or Perl scripts are not
supported by the default image, anymore, but the new "full" image
variant can be used for backwards compatibility.
Bump cpuid to v2.2.3 which adds support for detecting Intel Sierra
Forest instructions like AVXIFMA, AVXNECONVERT, AVXVNNIINT8 and
CMPCCXADD.

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.
Deprecate the '-featurerules-controller' command line flag as the name
does not describe the functionality anymore: in practice it controls the
CRD controller handling both NodeFeature and NodeFeatureRule objects.
The patch introduces a duplicate, more generally named, flag
'-crd-controller'. A warning is printed in the log if
'-featurerules-controller' flag is encountered.
Add initial support for handling NodeFeature objects. With this patch
nfd-master watches NodeFeature objects in all namespaces and reacts to
changes in any of these. The node which a certain NodeFeature object
affects is determined by the "nfd.node.kubernetes.io/node-name"
annotation of the object. When a NodeFeature object targeting certain
node is changed, nfd-master needs to process all other objects targeting
the same node, too, because there may be dependencies between them.
Add a new command line flag for selecting between gRPC and NodeFeature
CRD API as the source of feature requests. Enabling NodeFeature API
disables the gRPC interface.
-enable-nodefeature-api enable NodeFeature CRD API for incoming
feature requests, will disable the gRPC
interface (defaults to false)
It is not possible to serve gRPC and watch NodeFeature objects at the
same time. This is deliberate to avoid labeling races e.g. by nfd-worker
sending gRPC requests but NodeFeature objects in the cluster
"overriding" those changes (labels from the gRPC requests will get
overridden when NodeFeature objects are processed).
Support the new NodeFeatures object of the NFD CRD api. Add two new
command line options to nfd-worker:
-kubeconfig specifies the kubeconfig to use for
connecting k8s api (defaults to empty which
implies in-cluster config)
-enable-nodefeature-api enable the NodeFeature CRD API for
communicating node features to nfd-master,
will also automatically disable gRPC
(defgault to false)
No config file option for selecting the API is available as there should
be no need for dynamically selecting between gRPC and CRD. The
nfd-master configuration must be changed in tandem and it is safer (and
avoid awkward configuration races) to configure the whole NFD deployment
at once.
Default behavior of nfd-worker is not changed i.e. NodeFeatures object
creation is not enabled by default (but must be enabled with the command
line flag).
The patch also updates the kustomize and Helm deployment, adding RBAC
rules for nfd-worker and updating the example worker configuration.
Drop the gRPC communication to nfd-master and connect to the Kubernetes
API server directly when updating NodeResourceTopology objects.
Topology-updater already has connection to the API server for listing
Pods so this is not that dramatic change. It also simplifies the code
a lot as there is no need for the NFD gRPC client and no need for
managing TLS certs/keys.
This change aligns nfd-topology-updater with the future direction of
nfd-worker where the gRPC API is being dropped and replaced by a
CRD-based API.
This patch also update deployment files and documentation to reflect
this change.
Add a reference to the label rule format in the NodeFeatureRule section.
Also make it explicit in the beginning of Hooks section that hooks are
deprecated.
Add a separate page for describing the custom resources used by NFD.
Simplify the Introduction page by moving the details of
NodeResourceTopology from there. Similarly, drop long
NodeResourceTopology example from the quick-start page, making the page
shorter and simpler.
Drop the following flags that were deprecated already in v0.8.0:
-sleep-interval (replaced by core.sleepInterval config file option)
-label-whitelist (replaced by core.labelWhiteList config file option)
-sources (replaced by -label-sources flag)
