Aborted requests are the ones that were disrupted with http.ErrAbortHandler.
For example, the timeout handler will panic with http.ErrAbortHandler when a response to the client has been already sent
and the timeout elapsed.
Additionally, a new metric requestAbortsTotal was defined to count aborted requests. The new metric allows for aggregation for each group, version, verb, resource, subresource and scope.
This is the old behaviour and we did not intent to change it due to enabled authn/z in general.
As the kube-apiserver this sets the "system:unsecured" user info.

Avoid nil user special-casing in unsecured endpoint
The unsecured handler currently adds no `user.Info` to the request context. That means that anything that tries to authorize actions in the API server currently has to special case nil users to ensure the unsecured localhost endpoint remains capable of performing all actions.
This PR changes the unsecured localhost endpoint to be treated as a privileged user internally, so that no special casing is required by code inside the authentication layer
I'm not particularly attached to the username. It doesn't bother me for it to have a slightly uncomfortable sounding name.
