Backport

This PR is auto-generated from #16506 to be assessed for backporting due to the inclusion of the label backport/1.15.

The below text is copied from the body of the original PR.


Description

Follow up to #16288
TLDR: node-identity and service-identity flags when specified without the merge-* flags overwrites service identities and node identities of a token. This is ambiguous to the user because we have a no-merge flag which seems to imply that on update we are merging. So we have been doing work to improve the ux by renaming/adding/sunsetting flags and adding more docs to help reduce the ambiguity

  • Marking merge-node-identities and merge-service-identities for deprecation and encouraging the use of their replacement append-node-policy and append-service-identity
  • Updating docs to clarify that using -rules overwrites existing rules
  • Adding docs for the new flags: append-node-policy and append-service-identity

PR Checklist

  • updated test coverage
  • external facing docs updated
  • not a security concern
