- Kubeadm: unhide the "etcd-join" phase of "kubeadm join" to allow on-demand execution of the phase if the ControlPlaneLocalMode feature gate is not enabled ([#135481](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/135481), [@borovetsav](https://github.com/borovetsav)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

  The `--` separator has been recommended since the Kubernetes v1.18 release, which also deprecated the legacy way of invoking `kubectl exec`.
  
  This change aligns with the deprecation of legacy `kubectl exec` command execution and enforces the use of `kubectl exec [POD] -- [COMMAND]` for improved compatibility and adherence to recommended practices."
