Replace --init-config-dir with --config
Rather than a directory with magic names, just give the Kubelet a file path.
Was originally in #55718, but I'm splitting it out for clarity.
Fixes#57763
```release-note
The alpha `--init-config-dir` flag has been removed. Instead, use the `--config` flag to reference a kubelet configuration file directly.
```
