* Update defaultbackend to 1.5: move /metrics to a private endpoint (:10254). ([#69383](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/69383), [@bowei](https://github.com/bowei))

removal of dockershim related flags for new kubeadm clusters. If kubelet <1.24 is on the host, kubeadm >=1.24 can continue using the built-in dockershim in the kubelet if the user passes the `{Init|Join}Configuration.nodeRegistration.criSocket` value in the kubeadm configuration to be equal to `unix:///var/run/dockershim.sock` on Unix or `npipe:////./pipe/dockershim` on Windows. If kubelet version >=1.24 is on the host, kubeadm >=1.24 will treat all container runtimes as "remote" using the kubelet flags...

- Kubeadm: perform additional dockershim cleanup. Treat all container runtimes as remote by using the flag "--container-runtime=remote", given dockershim was removed in 1.24 and given kubeadm 1.25 supports a kubelet version of 1.24 and 1.25. The flag "--network-plugin" will no longer be used for new clusters. Stop cleaning up the following dockershim related directories on "kubeadm reset": "/var/lib/dockershim", "/var/runkubernetes", "/var/lib/cni"...

- Fixed a regression since `1.24` in the scheduling framework when overriding MultiPoint plugins (e.g. default plugins). The incorrect loop logic might have led to a plugin being loaded multiple times, consequently preventing any Pod from being scheduled, which was unexpected.

### Bug or Regression
