- kubeadm: don't warn if `crictl` binary does not exist since kubeadm does not rely on `crictl` since v1.31. ([#126596](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126596), [@saschagrunert](https://github.com/saschagrunert)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

- Kubeadm: Switched kubeadm to start using the CRI client library instead of shelling out of the `crictl` binary
  for actions against a CRI endpoint. The kubeadm deb/rpm packages will continue to install the `cri-tools`
  package for one more release, but in you must adapt your scripts to install `crictl` manually from
  https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cri-tools/releases or a different location.
