- Kubeadm: add support for certificate chain validation. When using kubeadm in external CA mode, this allows an intermediate CA to be used to sign the certificates. The intermediate CA certificate must be appended to each signed certificate for this to work correctly.

A decimal floating-point literal consists of an integer part (decimal digits),
a decimal point, a fractional part (decimal digits), and an exponent part
(<code>e</code> or <code>E</code> followed by an optional sign and decimal digits).
One of the integer part or the fractional part may be elided; one of the decimal point
or the exponent part may be elided.

egator_x509_missing_san_total` and `apiserver_webhooks_x509_missing_san_total`. This metric measures a number of connections to webhooks/aggregated API servers that use certificates without Subject Alternative Names. It being non-zero is a warning sign that these connections will stop functioning in the future since Golang is going to deprecate x509 certificate subject Common Names for server hostname verification.

- Kubeadm: fix a bug when using external CA mode and trying to upgrade to 1.29 using "kubeadm upgrade apply". Show a warning that kubeadm cannot sign the new "super-admin.conf" as the host does not have a CA and show some instructions on how to manually migrate to the separate "admin.conf" and "super-admin.conf" kubeconfig files.
