Enable metadata concealment for tests

**Which issue this PR fixes** *(optional, in `fixes #<issue number>(, fixes #<issue_number>, ...)` format, will close that issue when PR gets merged)*: none
**Special notes for your reviewer**:
**Release note**:
```release-note
Metadata concealment on GCE is now controlled by the `ENABLE_METADATA_CONCEALMENT` env var. See cluster/gce/config-default.sh for more info.

[GCE kube-up] Don't provision kubeconfig file for kube-proxy service account
**What this PR does / why we need it**:
Offloading the burden of provisioning kubeconfig file for kube-proxy service account from GCE startup scripts. This also helps us decoupling kube-proxy daemonset upgrade from node upgrade.
Previous attempt on https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51172, using InClusterConfig for kube-proxy based on discussions on https://github.com/kubernetes/client-go/issues/281.

This allows the etcd docker registry that is currently hard coded to
`gcr.io/google_containers/etcd` in the `etcd.manifest` template to be
overridden. This can be used to test new versions of etcd with
kubernetes that have not yet been published to
`gcr.io/google_containers/etcd` and also enables cluster operators to
manage the etcd images used by their cluster in an internal
repository.

Allow enable pod priority feature gate for GCE and configure priority for kube-proxy
**What this PR does / why we need it**:
From #23225, this PR adds an option for user to enable pod priority feature gate using GCE startup scripts, and configure pod priority for kube-proxy when enabled.
The setup `priorityClassName: system` derives from: ce1485c626/staging/src/k8s.io/api/core/v1/types.go (L2536-L2542)
The plan is to configure pod priority for kube-proxy daemonset (https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/50705) in the same way.
**Special notes for your reviewer**:

**Release note**:
```release-note
When using kube-up.sh on GCE, user could set env `ENABLE_POD_PRIORITY=true` to enable pod priority feature gate.
```
Replaces use of --api-servers with --kubeconfig in Kubelet args across
the turnup scripts. In many cases this involves generating a kubeconfig
file for the Kubelet and placing it in the correct location on the node.

NODE_TAINTS in gce startup scripts
Currently there is now way to pass a list of taints that should be added on node registration (at least not in gce or other saltbased deployment). This PR adds necessary plumbing to pass the taints from user or instance group template to kubelet startup flags.
```release-note
Taints support in gce/salt startup scripts.
```
The PR was manually tested.
```
NODE_TAINTS: 'dedicated=ml:NoSchedule'
```
in kube-env results in
```
spec:
[...]
taints:
- effect: NoSchedule
key: dedicated
timeAdded: null
value: ml
```

KUBE_GCE_ENABLE_IP_ALIASES=true will enable allocation of PodCIDR ips
using the ip alias mechanism rather than using routes.
NODE_IP_RANGE will control the node instance IP cidr
KUBE_GCE_IP_ALIAS_SIZE controls the size of each podCIDR
IP_ALIAS_SUBNETWORK controls the name of the subnet created for the cluster

[Federation] Remove FEDERATIONS_DOMAIN_MAP references
Remove all references to FEDERATIONS_DOMAIN_MAP as this method is no longer is used and is replaced by adding federation domain map to kube-dns configmap.
cc @madhusudancs @kubernetes/sig-federation-pr-reviews
**Release note**:
```
[Federation] Mechanism of adding `federation domain maps` to kube-dns deployment via `--federations` flag is superseded by adding/updating `federations` key in `kube-system/kube-dns` configmap. If user is using kubefed tool to join cluster federation, adding federation domain maps to kube-dns is already taken care by `kubefed join` and does not need further action.

remove support for debian masters in GCE
Asked about this on the mailing list and no one objects.
@zmerlynn @roberthbailey
```release-note
Remove support for debian masters in GCE kube-up.
```
Added configurable etcd initial-cluster-state to kube-up script. This
allows creation of multi-master cluster from scratch. This is a
cherry-pick of #41320 from 1.5 branch.
