Specifying one directory for kubeadm patches is not ideal:
1. It does not allow working with multiples inventories easily
2. No ansible templating of the patch
3. Ansible path searching can sometimes be confusing

Instead, provide the patch directly in a variable, and add some quality
of life to handle components targeting and patch ordering more
explicitly (`target` and `type` which are translated to the kubeadm
scheme which is based on the file name)

kubernetes/control-plane and kubernetes/kubeadm roles both push kubeadm
patches in the same way.
Extract that code and make it a dependency of both.
This is safe because it's only configuration for kubeadm, which only
takes effect when kubeadm is run.

* Update multus to v4.1.0 and clarify cilium compatibility

* Fix: bug introduced by #10934 where the template would break if multus was defined

* Set priorityClassName to system-node-critical for multus pods

K8s is moving away from the "master" terminology, so kubespray should follow the same naming conventions. See https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/65d886bb3029e73d9729e1d4f27422a7985233ed/sig-architecture/naming/recommendations/001-master-control-plane.md

Working symlinks are dependant on git configuration (when using the playbook as
a git repository, which is common), precisely `git config
core.symlinks`.

While this is enabled by default, some company policies will disable it.

Instead, use import_tasks which should avoid that class of bugs.

* Simplify docker systemd unit

systemd handles missing unit by ignoring the dependency so we don't need
to template them.

* Remove RHEL 7/CentOS 7 support

- remove ref in kubespray roles
- move CI from centos 7 to 8
- remove docs related to centos7

* Remove container-storage-setup

Only used for RHEL 7 and CentOS 7

systemd ignores unknown keys (with a warning) so version checking is not
necessary.
There is no rationale for excluding it from ostree systems either.

* Fix: fix testcases_run.sh for upgrade tests

Need to git checkout ${CI_COMMIT_SHA} before running upgrade playbook (revert #11173 partially)

* feat: add CI job to test upgrade

Add a packet_ubuntu22-calico-all-in-one-upgrade job

* make calico api server manifest backward compatible with version older than 3.27.3

Add 3.28.1 checksums
Add 3.28.0 checksums
Change default version to 3.27.3

* change default calico version to 3.28.1

* Set mount type to DirectoryOrCreate for hostPath needed by Calico

We can't mix some options with --config for kubeadm upgrade.
The --config on upgrade is deprecated, and should be removed.

We explicitly check for equality so customizing kubeadm_version does not
work at the moment.

Use only one variable instead.

Consistent boolean values in ansible playbooks
