k3s - v1.26.0+k3s2

This release updates containerd to v1.6.14 to resolve an issue where pods would lose their CNI information when containerd was restarted, as well as a number of other stability and administrative changes.

Before upgrading from earlier releases, be sure to read the Kubernetes Urgent Upgrade Notes.

Changes since v1.26.0+k3s1:

• Current status badges (#6653)
• Add initial Updatecli ADR automation (#6583)
• December 2022 channels update (#6618)
• Change Updatecli GH action reference branch (#6682)
• Fix OpenRC init script error 'openrc-run.sh: source: not found' (#6614)
• Add Dependabot config for security ADR (#6560)
• Bump containerd to v1.6.14-k3s1 (#6693)
• The embedded containerd version has been bumped to v1.6.14-k3s1. This includes a backported fix for containerd/7843 which caused pods to lose their CNI info when containerd was restarted, which in turn caused the kubelet to recreate the pod.
• Exclude December r1 releases from channel server (#6706)
