change DefaultGarbageCollectionPolicy to DeleteDependents for workloads controllers
**What this PR does / why we need it**:
As part of the apps/v1 GA effort (kubernetes/features#353) for v1.9. For core controllers, like `Deployment`, `DaemonSet`, `ReplicaSet`, and `StatefulSet`, changing the `DefaultGarbageCollectionPolicy` from `OrphanDependents` to `DeleteDependents` will make these objects consistent with the default behavior for all new objects.
For legacy API versions, the `DefaultGarbageCollectionPolicy` remains `OrphanDependents`.
**Which issue(s) this PR fixes** *(optional, in `fixes #<issue number>(, fixes #<issue_number>, ...)` format, will close the issue(s) when PR gets merged)*:

**Release note**:
```release-note
The default garbage collection policy for Deployment, DaemonSet, StatefulSet, and ReplicaSet has changed from OrphanDependents to DeleteDependents when the deletion is requested through an `apps/v1` endpoint. Clients using older endpoints will be unaffected. This change is only at the REST API level and is independent of the default behavior of particular clients (e.g. this does not affect the default for the kubectl `--cascade` flag).
If you upgrade your client-go libs and use the `AppsV1()` interface, please note that the default garbage collection behavior is changed.

Currently setting watch cache size for a given resource does not disable
the watch cache. This commit adds a new `default-watch-cache-size` flag
to map to the existing field, and refactors how watch cache sizes are
calculated to bring all of the code into one place. It also adds debug
logging to startup to allow us to verify watch cache enablement in
production.

Clear values for disabled alpha fields
Fixes#51831
Before persisting new or updated resources, alpha fields that are disabled by feature gate must be removed from the incoming objects.
This adds a helper for clearing these values for pod specs and calls it from the strategies of all in-tree resources containing pod specs.
Addresses https://github.com/kubernetes/community/pull/869
Implements history utilities for ControllerRevision in the controller/history package
StatefulSetStatus now has additional fields for consistency with DaemonSet and Deployment
StatefulSetStatus.Replicas now represents the current number of createdPods and StatefulSetStatus.ReadyReplicas is the current number of ready Pods
The alpha field podManagementPolicy defines how pods are created,
deleted, and replaced. The new `Parallel` policy will replace pods
as fast as possible, not waiting for the pod to be `Ready` or providing
an order. This allows for advanced clustered software to take advantage
of rapid changes in scale.
