* Performance test framework and basic tests for the IPAM controller, to simulate behavior of the four supported modes under lightly loaded and loaded conditions, where load is defined as the number of operations to perform as against the configured kubernetes.

- Kubernetes v1.13 moves support for Container Storage Interface to GA. As part of this move Kubernetes now supports CSI v1.0.0 and deprecates support for CSI 0.3 and older releases. Older CSI drivers must be updated to CSI 1.0 and moved to the new kubelet plugin registration directory in order to work with Kubernetes 1.15+.

- Changed: default "Accept-Encoding" header removed from HTTP probes. See https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/configure-liveness-readiness-startup-probes/#http-probes ([#96127](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96127), [@fonsecas72](https://github.com/fonsecas72)) [SIG Network and Node]

- Added a path `/header?key=` to `agnhost netexec` allowing one to view what the header value is of the incoming request.

  Ex:
  ```
  $ curl -H "X-Forwarded-For: something" 172.17.0.2:8080/header?key=X-Forwarded-For
  something
  ```

- `--log-flush-frequency` had no effect in several commands or was missing. Help and warning texts were not always using the right format for a command (`add_dir_header` instead of `add-dir-header`). Fixing this included cleaning up flag handling in component-base/logs: that package no longer adds flags to the global flag sets. Commands which want the klog and `--log-flush-frequency` flags must explicitly call `logs.AddFlags`; the new `cli.Run` does that for commands. That helper...
