Migrates addons from RCs to Deployments

Fixes #33698.

Below addons are being migrated:
- kube-dns
- GLBC default backend
- Dashboard UI
- Kibana

For the new deployments, the version suffixes are removed from their names. Version related labels are also removed because they are confusing and not needed any more with regard to how Deployment and the new Addon Manager works.

The `replica` field in `kube-dns` Deployment manifest is removed for the incoming DNS horizontal autoscaling feature #33239.

The `replica` field in `Dashboard` Deployment manifest is also removed because the rescheduler e2e test is manually scaling it.

Some resource limit related fields in `heapster-controller.yaml` are removed, as they will be set up by the `addon resizer` containers. Detailed reasons in #34513.

Three e2e tests are modified:
- `rescheduler.go`: Changed to resize Dashboard UI Deployment instead of ReplicationController.
- `addon_update.go`: Some namespace related changes in order to make it compatible with the new Addon Manager.
- `dns_autoscaling.go`: Changed to examine kube-dns Deployment instead of ReplicationController.

Both of above two tests passed on my own cluster. The upgrade process --- from old Addons with RCs to new Addons with Deployments --- was also tested and worked as expected.

The last commit upgrades Addon Manager to v6.0. It is still a work in process and currently waiting for #35220 to be finished. (The Addon Manager image in used comes from a non-official registry but it mostly works except some corner cases.)

@piosz @gmarek could you please review the heapster part and the rescheduler test?

Notes:
- Kube-dns manifest still uses *-rc.yaml for the new Deployment. The stale file names are preserved here for receiving faster review. May send out PR to re-organize kube-dns's file names after this.
- Heapster Deployment's name remains in the old fashion(with `-v1.2.0` suffix) for avoiding describe this upgrade transition explicitly. In this way we don't need to attach fake apply labels to the old Deployments.

Cluster add-ons

Cluster add-ons are resources like Services and Deployments (with pods) that are shipped with the Kubernetes binaries and are considered an inherent part of the Kubernetes clusters. The add-ons are visible through the API (they can be listed using kubectl), but direct manipulation of these objects through Apiserver is discouraged because the system will bring them back to the original state, in particular:

  • If an add-on is deleted, it will be recreated automatically.
  • If an add-on is updated through Apiserver, it will be reconfigured to the state given by the supplied fields in the initial config. Though it is fine to modify a field that was unspecified.

On the cluster, the add-ons are kept in /etc/kubernetes/addons on the master node, in yaml / json files. The addon manager periodically kubectl applys the contents of this directory. Any legit modification would be reflected on the API objects accordingly. Particularly, rolling-update for deployments is now supported.

Each add-on must specify the following label: kubernetes.io/cluster-service: true. Config files that do not define this label will be ignored. For those resources exist in kube-system namespace but not in /etc/kubernetes/addons, addon manager will attempt to remove them if they are attached with this label. Currently the other usage of kubernetes.io/cluster-service is for kubectl cluster-info command to recognize these cluster services.

The suggested naming for most types of resources is just <basename> (with no version number) because we do not expect the resource name to change. But resources like Pod , ReplicationController and DaemonSet are exceptional. As Pod updates may not change fields other than containers[*].image or spec.activeDeadlineSeconds and may not add or remove containers, it may not be sufficient during a major update. For ReplicationController, most of the modifications would be legit, but the underlying pods would not got re-created automatically. DaemonSet has similar problem as the ReplicationController. In these cases, the suggested naming is <basename>-<version>. When version changes, the system will delete the old one and create the new one (order not guaranteed).

Add-on update procedure

To update add-ons, just update the contents of /etc/kubernetes/addons directory with the desired definition of add-ons. Then the system will take care of:

  • Removing objects from the API server whose manifest was removed.
  • Creating objects from new manifests
  • Updating objects whose fields are legally changed.

Cooperating with Horizontal / Vertical Auto-Scaling

As all cluster add-ons will be reconciled to the original state given by the initial config. In order to make Horizontal / Vertical Auto-scaling functional, the related fields in config should be left unset. More specifically, leave replicas in ReplicationController / Deployment / ReplicaSet unset for Horizontal Scaling, and leave resources for container unset for Vertical Scaling. The periodical update won't include these specs, which will be managed by Horizontal / Vertical Auto-scaler.
