Allow anonymous API server access, decorate authenticated users with system:authenticated group

When writing authorization policy, it is often necessary to allow certain actions to any authenticated user. For example, creating a service or configmap, and granting read access to all users

It is also frequently necessary to allow actions to any unauthenticated user. For example, fetching discovery APIs might be part of an authentication process, and therefore need to be able to be read without access to authentication credentials.

This PR:
* Adds an option to allow anonymous requests to the secured API port. If enabled, requests to the secure port that are not rejected by other configured authentication methods are treated as anonymous requests, and given a username of `system:anonymous` and a group of `system:unauthenticated`. Note: this should only be used with an `--authorization-mode` other than `AlwaysAllow`
* Decorates user.Info returned from configured authenticators with the group `system:authenticated`.

This is related to defining a default set of roles and bindings for RBAC (https://github.com/kubernetes/features/issues/2). The bootstrap policy should allow all users (anonymous or authenticated) to request the discovery APIs.

```release-note
kube-apiserver learned the '--anonymous-auth' flag, which defaults to true. When enabled, requests to the secure port that are not rejected by other configured authentication methods are treated as anonymous requests, and given a username of 'system:anonymous' and a group of 'system:unauthenticated'. 

Authenticated users are decorated with a 'system:authenticated' group.

NOTE: anonymous access is enabled by default. If you rely on authentication alone to authorize access, change to use an authorization mode other than AlwaysAllow, or or set '--anonymous-auth=false'.
```

Cluster Federation

Kubernetes Cluster Federation enables users to federate multiple Kubernetes clusters. Please see the user guide and the admin guide for more details about setting up and using the Cluster Federation.

Building Kubernetes Cluster Federation

Please see the Kubernetes Development Guide for initial setup. Once you have the development environment setup as explained in that guide, you also need to install jq

Building cluster federation artifacts should be as simple as running:

make build

You can specify the docker registry to tag the image using the KUBE_REGISTRY environment variable. Please make sure that you use the same value in all the subsequent commands.

To push the built docker images to the registry, run:

make push

To initialize the deployment run:

(This pull the installer images)

make init

To deploy the clusters and install the federation components, edit the ${KUBE_ROOT}/_output/federation/config.json file to describe your clusters and run:

make deploy

To turn down the federation components and tear down the clusters run:

make destroy

Ideas for improvement

  1. Split the build phase (make recipe) into multiple phases:

    1. init: pull installer images
    2. build-binaries
    3. build-docker
    4. build: build-binary + build-docker
    5. push: to push the built images
    6. genconfig
    7. deploy-clusters
    8. deploy-federation
    9. deploy: deploy-clusters + deploy-federation
    10. destroy-federation
    11. destroy-clusters
    12. destroy: destroy-federation + destroy-clusters
    13. redeploy-federation: just redeploys the federation components.
  2. Continue with destroy phase even in the face of errors.

    The bash script sets set -e errexit which causes the script to exit at the very first error. This should be the default mode for deploying components but not for destroying/cleanup.
