Enable lazy initialization of ext3/ext4 filesystems
**What this PR does / why we need it**: It enables lazy inode table and journal initialization in ext3 and ext4.
**Which issue this PR fixes** *(optional, in `fixes #<issue number>(, fixes #<issue_number>, ...)` format, will close that issue when PR gets merged)*: fixes#30752, fixes#30240
**Release note**:
```release-note
Enable lazy inode table and journal initialization for ext3 and ext4
```
**Special notes for your reviewer**:
This PR removes the extended options to mkfs.ext3/mkfs.ext4, so that the defaults (enabled) for lazy initialization are used.
These extended options come from a script that was historically located at */usr/share/google/safe_format_and_mount* and later ported to GO so this dependency to the script could be removed. After some search, I found the original script here: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/compute-image-packages/blob/legacy/google-startup-scripts/usr/share/google/safe_format_and_mount
Checking the history of this script, I found the commit [Disable lazy init of inode table and journal.](4d7346f7f5). This one introduces the extended flags with this description:
```
Now that discard with guaranteed zeroing is supported by PD,
initializing them is really fast and prevents perf from being affected
when the filesystem is first mounted.
```
The problem is, that this is not true for all cloud providers and all disk types, e.g. Azure and AWS. I only tested with magnetic disks on Azure and AWS, so maybe it's different for SSDs on these cloud providers. The result is that this performance optimization dramatically increases the time needed to format a disk in such cases.
When mkfs.ext4 is told to not lazily initialize the inode tables and the check for guaranteed zeroing on discard fails, it falls back to a very naive implementation that simply loops and writes zeroed buffers to the disk. Performance on this highly depends on free memory and also uses up all this free memory for write caching, reducing performance of everything else in the system.
As of https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/30752, there is also something inside kubelet that somehow degrades performance of all this. It's however not exactly known what it is but I'd assume it has something to do with cgroups throttling IO or memory.
I checked the kernel code for lazy inode table initialization. The nice thing is, that the kernel also does the guaranteed zeroing on discard check. If it is guaranteed, the kernel uses discard for the lazy initialization, which should finish in a just few seconds. If it is not guaranteed, it falls back to using *bio*s, which does not require the use of the write cache. The result is, that free memory is not required and not touched, thus performance is maxed and the system does not suffer.
As the original reason for disabling lazy init was a performance optimization and the kernel already does this optimization by default (and in a much better way), I'd suggest to completely remove these flags and rely on the kernel to do it in the best way.

Start making `k8s.io/client-go` authoritative for generic client packages
Right now, client-go has copies of various generic client packages which produces golang type incompatibilities when you want to switch between different kinds of clients. In many cases, there's no reason to have two sets of packages. This pull eliminates the copy for `pkg/client/transport` and makes `client-go` the authoritative copy.
I recommend going by commits, the first just synchronizes the client-go code again so that I could test the copy script to make sure it correctly preserves the original package.

Move PatchType to apimachinery/pkg/types

`PatchType` is shared by the client and server, they have to agree, and its critical for our API to function.

move api/errors to apimachinery
`pkg/api/errors` is a set of helpers around `meta/v1.Status` that help to create and interpret various apiserver errors. Things like `.NewNotFound` and `IsNotFound` pairings. This pull moves it into apimachinery for use by the clients and servers.
@smarterclayton @lavalamp First commit is the move plus minor fitting. Second commit is straight replace and generation.

Add optional per-request context to restclient
**What this PR does / why we need it**: It adds per-request contexts to restclient's API, and uses them to add timeouts to all proxy calls in the e2e tests. An entire e2e shouldn't hang for hours on a single API call.
**Which issue this PR fixes**: #38305
**Special notes for your reviewer**:
This adds a feature to the low-level rest client request feature that is entirely optional. It doesn't affect any requests that don't use it. The api of the generated clients does not change, and they currently don't take advantage of this.
I intend to patch this in to 1.5 as a mostly test only change since it's not going to affect any controller, generated client, or user of the generated client.

Remove sleep from DynamicProvisioner test.
The comment says that the sleep is there because of 10 minute PV controller
sync. The controller sync is now 15 seconds and it should be quick enough
to hide this in subsequent `WaitForPersistentVolumeDeleted(.. , 20*time.Minute)`

replace global registry in apimachinery with global registry in k8s.io/kubernetes
We'd like to remove all globals, but our immediate problem is that a shared registry between k8s.io/kubernetes and k8s.io/client-go doesn't work. Since client-go makes a copy, we can actually keep a global registry with other globals in pkg/api for now.

Update images that use ubuntu-slim base image to :0.6
**What this PR does / why we need it**: `ubuntu-slim:0.4` is somewhat old, being based on Ubuntu 16.04, whereas `ubuntu-slim:0.6` is based on Ubuntu 16.04.1.
**Special notes for your reviewer**: I haven't pushed any of these images yet, so I expect all of the e2e builds to fail. If we're happy with the changes, I can push the images and then re-trigger tests.
