### Scheduler

    - `apiserver_flowcontrol_demand_seats_smoothed`: Smoothed seat demands
    - `apiserver_flowcontrol_target_seats`: Seat allocation targets
    - `apiserver_flowcontrol_seat_fair_frac`: Fair fraction of server's concurrency to allocate to each priority level that can use it

- Introduced new apiserver metric `apiserver_flowcontrol_current_inqueue_seats`. This metric is analogous to `apiserver_flowcontrol_current_inqueue_requests`, but tracks the total number of seats, as each request can take more than one seat.
