Use correct defaults when binding apiserver flags
defaults should be set in the struct-creating function, then the current struct field value used as the default when binding the flag

Make etcd cache size configurable
Instead of the prior 50K limit, allow users to specify a more sensible size for their cluster.
I'm not sure what a sensible default is here. I'm still experimenting on my own clusters. 50 gives me a 270MB max footprint. 50K caused my apiserver to run out of memory as it exceeded >2GB. I believe that number is far too large for most people's use cases.
There are some other fundamental issues that I'm not addressing here:
- Old etcd items are cached and potentially never removed (it stores using modifiedIndex, and doesn't remove the old object when it gets updated)
- Cache isn't LRU, so there's no guarantee the cache remains hot. This makes its performance difficult to predict. More of an issue with a smaller cache size.
- 1.2 etcd entries seem to have a larger memory footprint (I never had an issue in 1.1, even though this cache existed there). I suspect that's due to image lists on the node status.
This is provided as a fix for #23323
