Set all node conditions to Unknown when node is unreachable
**What this PR does / why we need it**:
Sets all node conditions to Unknown when node does not report status/unreachable
**Which issue this PR fixes**
fixes https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/36273
We had another bug where we confused the hostname with the NodeName.
To avoid this happening again, and to make the code more
self-documenting, we use types.NodeName (a typedef alias for string)
whenever we are referring to the Node.Name.
A tedious but mechanical commit therefore, to change all uses of the
node name to use types.NodeName
Also clean up some of the (many) places where the NodeName is referred
to as a hostname (not true on AWS), or an instanceID (not true on GCE),
etc.

Fake clientset no longer needs to be prepopulated with records: keeping
them in leads to the name conflict on creates. Also, since fake
clientset now respects namespaces, we need to correctly populate them.
