- kubeadm: `kubeadm upgrade node` now supports `addon` and `post-upgrade` phases. Users can use `kubeadm upgrade node phase addon` to execute the addon upgrade, or use `kubeadm upgrade node...

- kubeadm: Avoided loading the file passed to `--kubeconfig` during `kubeadm init` phases more than once. ([#129006](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/129006), [@kokes](https://github.com/kokes))

During "kubeadm upgrade" commands, if the feature gate is enabled, modify the "/etc/kubernetes/kubelet.conf...
