Fix decoding of admission config file
Fixes#584261a552bbe14 (diff-eb9532eb476083e1ab31da9dd6f83eceR41) attempted to use a locally constructed scheme, but the name `scheme` was shadowed by a function arg.
Attempts to run the apiserver with a structured plugin config file would fail to decode (since the passed scheme didn't know about the AdmissionConfiguration type), then fall back to treating the file as a legacy config, and silently continue without correct config

Refactor service controller to common controller pattern
**What this PR does / why we need it**:
The service controller currently uses a non-standard controller pattern that adds unneeded complexity. This PR moves the service controller to use common tools like the rate limited queue with exponential backoff versus tracking retry backoff in the cachedService object.
**Which issue this PR fixes** *(optional, in `fixes #<issue number>(, fixes #<issue_number>, ...)` format, will close that issue when PR gets merged)*: fixes#55528
**Special notes for your reviewer**:
This does change the retry backoff from a linear backoff to an exponential backoff. The min and max retry delay stays the same.
There was only one case where we didn't want to retry, which was when we updated the service status since that handled retries itself. In that case I moved to the common pattern of using `runtime.HandleError`.

Show findmnt command output in case of error
**What this PR does / why we need it**:
We don't print the error output from the `findmnt` command, which makes it pretty hard to debug.
The current implementation just print:

make the controller manager create and use a valid cobra command
The controller manager was returning an invalid cobra command that couldn't be executed and then side-stepped it by adding flags separately. This brings it into line.
In OpenStack environment, when there is no metadata service, we
look at the config drive to figure out the metadata. Since we need
to run commands like blkid, we need to ensure that api server and
kube controller are running in the privileged mode.
So add a new field in MasterConfiguration for specifying that the
api server and controller manager (s) need extra privileges. Added
a TODO to remove this code when we fully yank out cloud provider
specific calls from these processes.

openstack: remove orphaned routes from terminated instances
**What this PR does / why we need it**:
At the moment the openstack cloudprovider only returns routes where the `NextHop` address points to an existing openstack instance. This is a problem when an instance is terminated before the corresponding node is removed from k8s. The existing route is not returned by the cloudprovider anymore and therefore never considered for deletion by the route controller. When the route's `DestinationCIDR` is reassigned to a new node the router ends up with two routes pointing to a different `NextHop` leading to broken networking.
This PR removes skipping routes pointing to unknown next hops when listing routes. This should cause [this conditional](93dc3763b0/pkg/controller/route/route_controller.go (L208)) in the route controller to succeed and have the route removed if the route controller [feels responsible](93dc3763b0/pkg/controller/route/route_controller.go (L206)).
```release-note
OpenStack cloudprovider: Ensure orphaned routes are removed.

Support for custom tls cipher suites in api server and kubelet
**What this PR does / why we need it**:
This pull request aims to solve the problem of users not able to set custom cipher suites in the api server.
Several users have requested this given that some default ciphers are vulnerable.
There is a discussion in #41038 of how to implement this. The options are:
- Setting a fixed list of ciphers, but users will have different requirements so a fixed list would be problematic.
- Letting the user set them by parameter, this requires adding a new parameter that could be pretty long with the list of all the ciphers.
I implemented the second option, if the ciphers are not passed by parameter, the Go default ones will be used (same behavior as now).
**Which issue this PR fixes**
fixes#41038
**Special notes for your reviewer**:
The ciphers in Go tls config are constants and the ones passed by parameters are a comma-separated list. I needed to create the `type CipherSuitesFlag` to support that conversion/mapping, because i couldn't find any way to do this type of reflection in Go.
If you think there is another way to implement this, let me know.
If you want to test it out, this is a ciphers combination i tested without the weak ones:
```
TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256,TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256,TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384,TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305,TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384,TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA,TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA

If this is merged i will implement the same for the Kubelet.

Recheck if transformed data is stale when doing live lookup during update
Fixes#49565
Caching storage can pass in a cached object to `GuaranteedUpdate` as a hint for the current object.
If the hint is identical to the data we want to persist, before short-circuiting as a no-op update, we force a live lookup.
We should check two things on the result of that live lookup before short-circuiting as a no-op update:
1. the bytes we want to persist still match the transformed bytes read from etcd
2. the state read from etcd didn't report itself as stale. this would mean the transformer used to read the data would not be the transformer used to write it, and "no-op" writes should still be performed, since transformation will make the underlying content actually different.
After a live lookup, we checked byte equality, but not the stale indicator. This meant that key rotation or encrypted->decrypted, and decrypted->encrypted updates are broken.
Introduced in #54780 and picked back to 1.8 in #55294
