kubeadm: Started using `k8s.io/system-validators` `v1.12.1` in `kubeadm` `v1.35`. During `kubeadm init`, `kubeadm join`, and `kubeadm upgrade`, the SystemVerification preflight check throws an error if cgroups v1 is detected and the detected `kubelet` version is `v1.35` or newer. For older versions of `kubelet`, a preflight warning is displayed.
  

Other notable changes include:
* CoreDNS replaces kube-dns as the default DNS provider

* Fix a bug where kubelet would not retry pod sandbox creation when the restart policy of the pod is Never ([#79451](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/79451), [@yujuhong](https://github.com/yujuhong))

- Terminating a restartPolicy=Never pod no longer has a chance to report the pod succeeded when it actually failed. ([#88440](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88440), [@smarterclayton](https://github.com/smarterclayton)) [SIG Node and Testing]

<h3 id="String_types">String types</h3>

<p>
A <i>string type</i> represents the set of string values.
A string value is a (possibly empty) sequence of bytes.
The number of bytes is called the length of the string and is never negative.
Strings are immutable: once created,
it is impossible to change the contents of a string.
The predeclared string type is <code>string</code>;
it is a <a href="#Types">named type</a>.

- Fixed a startup probe race condition that caused main containers to remain stuck in "Initializing" state when sidecar containers with startup probes failed initially but succeeded on restart in pods with restartPolicy=Never.

- Kubernetes is now built with Go 1.20.4 ([#117773](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117773), [@xmudrii](https://github.com/xmudrii)) [SIG Release and Testing]

### Failing Test

### Bug or Regression

* gitRepo volumes in pods no longer require git 1.8.5 or newer, older git versions are supported too now. ([#62394](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/62394), [@jsafrane](https://github.com/jsafrane))

* kubeadm 1.8 now properly handles upgrades from to 1.7.x to newer release in 1.7 branch ([#53338](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53338), [@kad](https://github.com/kad))

- Node affinity, Node selectors, and tolerations are now mutable for Jobs that are suspended and have never been started ([#105479](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105479), [@ahg-g](https://github.com/ahg-g))
- Pod template annotations and labels are now mutable for Jobs that are suspended and have never been started ([#105980](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105980), [@ahg-g](https://github.com/ahg-g))
