Add InstanceExistsByProviderID to cloud provider interface for CCM
**What this PR does / why we need it**:
Currently, [`MonitorNode()`](02b520f0a4/pkg/controller/cloud/nodecontroller.go (L240)) in the node controller checks with the CCM if a node still exists by calling `ExternalID(nodeName)`. `ExternalID` is supposed to return the provider id of a node which is not supported on every cloud. This means that any clouds who cannot infer the provider id by the node name from a remote location will never remove nodes that no longer exist.
**Which issue this PR fixes** *(optional, in `fixes #<issue number>(, fixes #<issue_number>, ...)` format, will close that issue when PR gets merged)*: fixes#50985
**Special notes for your reviewer**:
We'll want to create a subsequent issue to track the implementation of these two new methods in the cloud providers.
**Release note**:
```release-note
Adds `InstanceExists` and `InstanceExistsByProviderID` to cloud provider interface for the cloud controller manager
```

The cloudprovider is being refactored out of kubernetes core. This is being
done by moving all the cloud-specific calls from kube-apiserver, kubelet and
kube-controller-manager into a separately maintained binary(by vendors) called
cloud-controller-manager. The Kubelet relies on the cloudprovider to detect information
about the node that it is running on. Some of the cloudproviders worked by
querying local information to obtain this information. In the new world of things,
local information cannot be relied on, since cloud-controller-manager will not
run on every node. Only one active instance of it will be run in the cluster.
Today, all calls to the cloudprovider are based on the nodename. Nodenames are
unqiue within the kubernetes cluster, but generally not unique within the cloud.
This model of addressing nodes by nodename will not work in the future because
local services cannot be queried to uniquely identify a node in the cloud. Therefore,
I propose that we perform all cloudprovider calls based on ProviderID. This ID is
a unique identifier for identifying a node on an external database (such as
the instanceID in aws cloud).
1. Update the configuration file for Photon Controller cloud provider
2. Only master nodes can communicate with Photon Controller endpoint
3. Enable support for authentication-enabled Photon Controller endpoint
4. Update NodeAddresses function for query from local node
