- Fixed two regressions introduced by the `PodDisruptionConditions` feature (on by default in 1.26):
  - pod eviction API calls returned spurious precondition errors and required a second evict API call to succeed

  - Speed up binpacking by reducing the number of PreFilter calls (call once per pod instead of #pods*#nodes times)
  - Speed up finding unneeded nodes by 5x+ in very large clusters by reducing the number of PreFilter calls
  - Expose `--max-nodes-total` as a metric
  - Errors in `IncreaseSize` changed from type `apiError` to `cloudProviderError`

## Before Upgrading

Consider the following changes, limitations, and guidelines before you upgrade:

### **API Machinery**

*   The admission API, which is used when the API server calls admission control webhooks, is moved from `admission.v1alpha1` to `admission.v1beta1`. You must **delete any existing webhooks before you upgrade** your cluster, and update them to use the latest API. This change is not backward compatible.

		// use prefix delete on exact object (this is an optimization to avoid fan-out calls)
		opts.DeletePrefixObject = true
	}
	var (
		dobj ObjectInfo
		err  error
	)

	timeILM := globalScannerMetrics.timeILM(lcEvent.Action)
	defer func() {
		if !ok {
			return

         * the redirected target has different capabilities. But
         * the way we have been doing that is to call exists() which
         * calls this method so another technique will be necessary
         * to support DFS referral _to_ Win95/98/ME.
