Currently the "generate-csr" command does not have any output.
Pass an io.Writer (bound to os.Stdout from /cmd) to the functions
responsible for generating the kubeconfig / certs keys and CSRs.
If nil is passed these functions don't output anything.
Client side period validation of certificates should not be
fatal, as local clock skews are not so uncommon. The validation
should be left to the running servers.
- Remove this validation from TryLoadCertFromDisk().
- Add a new function ValidateCertPeriod(), that can be used for this
purpose on demand.
- In phases/certs add a new function CheckCertificatePeriodValidity()
that will print warnings if a certificate does not pass period
validation, and caches certificates that were already checked.
- Use the function in a number of places where certificates
are loaded from disk.
The selected key type is defined by kubeadm's --feature-gates option:
if it contains PublicKeysECDSA=true then ECDSA keys will be generated
and used.
By default RSA keys are used still.

kubeadm still generates RSA keys when deploying a node, but also
accepts ECDSA keys if they already exist pregenerated in the
directory specified in --cert-dir.
The function certs.NewCACertAndKey() is just a wrapper around
pkiutil.NewCertificateAuthority() which doesn't add any
additional functionality.
Instead use pkiutil.NewCertificateAuthority() directly.
This avoids ending in a wrong cluster state by assuming that the
present certificates will work. It is specially important when we
are growing etcd from 1 member to 2, in which case in case of failure
upon joining etcd will be unavailable.
Walk the certificate tree, at each step checking for a CACert.
If the CACert is found, try to use it to generate certificates.
Otherwise, generate a new CA cert.
