Implement support for kubeadm v1beta4 API

[fabriziopandini]

What would you like to be added (User Story)?

As a user, I want to be able to create clusters with kubeadm 1.31 (which most probably is going to use v1beta4 API)
As a user, I want to be able to use latest and greatest introduced by kubeadm v1beta4 API

Detailed Description

Changes introduced by kubeadm v1beta4 that we might add to CABPK without breaking changes (caveats, those changes apply only to clusters with K8s >= 1.31, for older cluster they are no-op)

• ClusterConfiguration.Proxy.Disabled (note, this might has a correlation with the controlplane.cluster.x-k8s.io/skip-coredns annotation)
• ClusterConfiguration.DNS.Disabled (note, this might has a correlation with the controlplane.cluster.x-k8s.io/skip-kube-proxy annotation)
• ClusterConfiguration.EncryptionAlgorithm (note, exposing this flag might imply other changes in Cluster API certificate management)
• ClusterConfiguration.CertificateValidityPeriod (note, exposing this flag might imply other changes in Cluster API certificate management)
• ClusterConfiguration.CACertificateValidityPeriod (note, exposing this flag might imply other changes in Cluster API certificate management)
• ClusterConfiguration.*.ExtraEnvs
• Init/JoinConfiguration.NodeRegistrationOptions.ImagePullSerial
• Init/JoinConfiguration.Timeouts. Note:
  • ClusterConfiguration.TimeoutForControlPlane is now Init/JoinConfiguration.Timeout.ControlPlaneComponentHealthCheck
  • JoinConfiguration.Discovery.Timeout is now JoinConfiguration.Timeout.TLSBootstrap

Changes introduced by kubeadm v1beta4 that require CABPK breaking changes to be implemented

• ClusterConfiguration.*.ExtraArgs allowing to set multiple values for the same key
• Init/JoinConfiguration.NodeRegistrationOptions.KubeletExtraArgs allowing to set multiple values for the same key

Changes introduced by kubeadm v1beta4 that are not relevant to CABPK

• Init/JoinConfiguration.DryRun (dry run makes sense only when using kubeadm from the CLI in interactive mode)
• ResetConfiguration, UpgradeConfiguration (we are not using this commands in CABPK)

Action Plan

Mandatory tasks to support Kubernetes v1.31:

• Implements conversions from CAPI v1beta1 types to kubeadm v1beta4 ✨ Add kubeadm v1beta4 types #10709
  • Special handling should be implemented for ClusterConfiguration.TimeoutForControlPlane and JoinConfiguration.Discovery.Timeout

Optional non breaking changes to be implemented ASAP:

•  Before adding new fields, check potential impacts on things like

  cluster-api/controlplane/kubeadm/internal/filters.go

  Line 220 in 57dc231

  match, diff, err := compare.Diff(machineClusterConfig, kcpLocalClusterConfiguration)

  , also ClusterClass and topology reconcile ✨ Add ExtraEnvs and ImagePullSerial to KubeadmConfig #10846
• Add ClusterConfiguration.*.ExtraEnvs ✨ Add ExtraEnvs and ImagePullSerial to KubeadmConfig #10846
• Add Init/JoinConfiguration.NodeRegistrationOptions.ImagePullSerial ✨ Add ExtraEnvs and ImagePullSerial to KubeadmConfig #10846
• Add Init/JoinConfiguration.Timeout
  • Important: Timeout.ControlPlaneComponentHealthCheck and Timeout.TLSBootstrap must not be added now to ensure a clean migration of ClusterConfiguration.TimeoutForControlPlane and JoinConfiguration.Discovery.Timeout when we introduce CAPI v1beta2 types

Changes deferred to when we review certificate management / renewal

• Add ClusterConfiguration.CertificateValidityPeriod and ClusterConfiguration.CACertificateValidityPeriod

Changes deferred to when we review kubeadm/KCP addon management

• Add ClusterConfiguration.Proxy.Disabled and ClusterConfiguration.DNS.Disabled

Changes deferred to when we implement #10077

• Add ClusterConfiguration.EncryptionAlgorithm

Changes deferred to when we implement CAPI v1beta2 types

• Refactor ClusterConfiguration.*.ExtraArgs and Init/JoinConfiguration.NodeRegistrationOptions.KubeletExtraArgs
• Add Timeout.ControlPlaneComponentHealthCheck and Timeout.TLSBootstrap and remove ClusterConfiguration.TimeoutForControlPlane and JoinConfiguration.Discovery.Timeout

note: priority assumes we can continue to work with v1beta3 API, but if this is not true it must be bumped to critical-urgent
