- Fixes #115825. Kube-proxy will now include the `healthz` state in its response to the LB HC as to avoid indicating to the LB that it should use the node in question when Kube-proxy is not healthy.

# v1.8.2

    * If excludeMasterFromStandardLB is not set, it will be default to true, which means master nodes are excluded to the backend of standard LB.
    * Also note standard load balancer doesn't work with annotation `service.beta.kubernetes.io/azure-load-balancer-mode`. This is because all nodes (except master) are added as the LB backends.
