Linkerd - edge-24.1.1

edge-24.1.1

This edge release introduces a number of different fixes and improvements. More
notably, it introduces a new cni-repair-controller binary to the CNI plugin
image. The controller will automatically restart pods that have not received
their iptables configuration.

  Kubernetes resources (#11816; fixes #11784)

  feature (#11805)

  identities (#11882)

  component (#11875; fixes #11839)

  client cannot be successfully initialised (#11917)
