The test/e2e suite has never supported feature gates:
- it cannot discover at runtime how the cluster is configured
- its --feature-gates parameter had no effect
Despite that, tests were written that used
e2eskipper.SkipUnlessFeatureGateEnabled even though that function then only
checked the default feature gate state. To catch such mistakes, e2e tests
suites now must explicitly enable feature gate checking via
e2eskipper.InitFeatureGates. They also must register their own command line
flag. When that is not done, then using SkipUnlessFeatureGateEnabled or
SkipIfFeatureGateEnabled leads to a test failure.
test/e2e_node does both and therefore continues to work as before.
