Set pids limit at pod level
**What this PR does / why we need it**:
Add a new Alpha Feature to set a maximum number of pids per Pod.
This is to allow the use case where cluster administrators wish
to limit the pids consumed per pod (example when running a CI system).
By default, we do not set any maximum limit, If an administrator wants
to enable this, they should enable `SupportPodPidsLimit=true` in the
`--feature-gates=` parameter to kubelet and specify the limit using the
`--pod-max-pids` parameter.
The limit set is the total count of all processes running in all
containers in the pod.
**Which issue(s) this PR fixes** *(optional, in `fixes #<issue number>(, fixes #<issue_number>, ...)` format, will close the issue(s) when PR gets merged)*:
Fixes#43783
**Special notes for your reviewer**:
**Release note**:
```release-note
New alpha feature to limit the number of processes running in a pod. Cluster administrators will be able to place limits by using the new kubelet command line parameter --pod-max-pids. Note that since this is a alpha feature they will need to enable the "SupportPodPidsLimit" feature.

- Changes the following KubeletConfiguration fields from `string` to
`map[string]string`:
- `EvictionHard`
- `EvictionSoft`
- `EvictionSoftGracePeriod`
- `EvictionMinimumReclaim`
- Adds flag parsing shims to maintain Kubelet's public flags API, while
enabling structured input in the file API.
- Also removes `kubeletconfig.ConfigurationMap`, which was an ad-hoc flag
parsing shim living in the kubeletconfig API group, and replaces it
with the `MapStringString` shim introduced in this PR. Flag parsing
shims belong in a common place, not in the kubeletconfig API.
I manually audited these to ensure that this wouldn't cause errors
parsing the command line for syntax that would have previously been
error free (`kubeletconfig.ConfigurationMap` was unique in that it
allowed keys to be provided on the CLI without values. I believe this was
done in `flags.ConfigurationMap` to facilitate the `--node-labels` flag,
which rightfully accepts value-free keys, and that this shim was then
just copied to `kubeletconfig`). Fortunately, the affected fields
(`ExperimentalQOSReserved`, `SystemReserved`, and `KubeReserved`) expect
non-empty strings in the values of the map, and as a result passing the
empty string is already an error. Thus requiring keys shouldn't break
anyone's scripts.
- Updates code and tests accordingly.
Regarding eviction operators, directionality is already implicit in the
signal type (for a given signal, the decision to evict will be made when
crossing the threshold from either above or below, never both). There is
no need to expose an operator, such as `<`, in the API. By changing
`EvictionHard` and `EvictionSoft` to `map[string]string`, this PR
simplifies the experience of working with these fields via the
`KubeletConfiguration` type. Again, flags stay the same.
Other things:
- There is another flag parsing shim, `flags.ConfigurationMap`, from the
shared flag utility. The `NodeLabels` field still uses
`flags.ConfigurationMap`. This PR moves the allocation of the
`map[string]string` for the `NodeLabels` field from
`AddKubeletConfigFlags` to the defaulter for the external
`KubeletConfiguration` type. Flags are layered on top of an internal
object that has undergone conversion from a defaulted external object,
which means that previously the mere registration of flags would have
overwritten any previously-defined defaults for `NodeLabels` (fortunately
there were none).
