k3s - v1.21.11+k3s1

This release updates Kubernetes to v1.21.11, and fixes a number of issues.

For more details on what's new, see the Kubernetes release notes.

Changes since v1.21.10+k3s1:

• Add ability to specify etcd snapshot list output format (#5132) (#5178)
• Fixed a bug that prevented users from using k3s secrets-encryption rotation after upgrading from older K3s versions. (#5168)
• Add --json flag for k3s secrets-encrypt status (#5197)
• k3s secrets-encrypt prepare can now be used on control-plane only nodes (#5229)
• The embedded containerd has been bumped to v1.4.13-k3s1 (#5233)
• Backport cleanups and bugfixes from master (#5253)
• When using the unsupported --disable-agent flag, kube-scheduler will now be started when a node is available.
• Server nodes with only etcd/control-plane/etcd+control-plane roles can now be added to the cluster in any order, as long as the first node has the etcd role.
• Any alarms present on the embedded etcd datastore are now reported and cleared at startup. This should allow for graceful recovery after exceeding and subsequently raising the etcd quota size.
• Secondary etcd-only nodes will now successfully bootstrap containerd and the kubelet before a control-plane node has joined the cluster. (#5304)
• Update Kubernetes to v1.21.11-k3s1 (#5274)
• The packaged coredns version has been bumped to v1.9.1 (#5310)
• Defragment etcd datastore before clearing alarms; don't delete temp etcd db while reconciling
• The embedded etcd database is now defragmented on startup.
• Fixed an issue that could cause restart of managed etcd nodes to occasionally fail while reconciling bootstrap data. (#5342)
