Removes any reference from the registry gcr.io/kubernetes-e2e-test-images in
kubernetes/kubernetes, replacing it with k8s.gcr.io/kubernetes-e2e-test-images.
In some cases, the images had to be updated since a few things have changed since
their original implementation, most notably being the fact that some of the images
have been centralized into the agnhost image.

Currently, some of the E2E test images have Windows support, and one of the goals is for most of
them to have Windows support. For that, the Image Builder is currently building those Windows
container images using a few Windows Server nodes (for 1809, 1903, 1909) with Remote Docker
enabled which are hosted on an azure subscription dedicated for CNCF.
With this, the Windows nodes dependency is removed entirely, as the images can be also built with
docker buildx. One additional benefit to this is that adding new supported Windows OS versions
to the E2E test images manifest lists becomes a lot easier (we wouldn't have to create a new Windows
Server node that matches that new OS version, assign DNS name, update certificates, etc.), and it
also becomes easier for other people to build their own E2E windows test images.
However, some dependencies are still required to run on a Windows machine. To solve this, we can
just pull helper images: e2eteam/powershell-helper:6.2.7 and e2eteam/busybox-helper:1.29.0. Their
Dockerfiles and a Makefile for them has been included in this commit. If any change is required to
them, then a new image will be built and tagged under a different version, but they are pretty
straight-forward and shouldn't require changes.
However, there is a small concern when it comes to the build time: Windows servercore images are
very large (for example, mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore:ltsc2019 is 4.99GB uncompressed, and
about ~2 GB compressed - those images are already cached on the Windows Server builder nodes, so
this isn't an issue there), and we currently support 1809, 1903, and 1909 (soon to add 2004).
This can lead to build times that are too big.
We have changed the base image to nanoserver (uncompressed size: 250MB), but some images still
require some DLLs or some other dependencies that can be fetched from a servercore image.
A separate job has been defined that would build a scratch windows-servercore-cache image monthly,
and then we can just get those dependencies from this cache, which will be very small.
This would be preferred, as the Windows images update periodically, and those dependencies
could be updated as well.
The build times are a bit high for the image builder (~50 minutes), and it will a bit more
when Windows support will be added to the other test images. This commit changes the
machineType to N1_HIGHCPU_8.
Reenables Windows test image building. Added DOCKER_CERT_BASE_PATH (default value: $HOME),
which will contain the path where the certificates needed for Remote Docker Connection can
be found.
If a REMOTE_DOCKER_URL was not set for a particular OS version, exclude that image from the
manifest list. This fixes an issue where, if REMOTE_DOCKER_URL was not set for Windows Server 1909,
the Windows were completely excluded from the manifest list, including for Windows Server 1809
and 1903 which could have been built and pushed.
Sets "test-webserver" as the default CMD for kitten and nautilus. Since they are now based on
agnhost, they should be set to run test-webserver to maintain previous behaviour.
Bumps the agnhost version to 2.13, as 2.12 has already been promoted. 2.13 will contain
Windows support.
Adds Windows support for the kitten and nautilus images, so they can promoted together
with agnhost (they were not previously promoted).
Adds OWNERS files to: agnhost, busybox, kitten, nautilus.
In the current version, due to how make works, when building all the conformance
images (make all-push WHAT=all-conformance), ALL the images are being built first
before being pushed.
This PR will allow images to be built and pushed immediately afterwards, so the first
images that have been succesfully built are already pushed and promotable, even if
the the task failed on the last image, or it timed out.
