### Promoted Server Side Unknown Field Validation to Beta

Promoted the `ServerSideFieldValidation` feature gate to beta (on by default). This allows optionally triggering schema validation on the API server that errors when unknown fields are detected. This allows the removal of client-side validation from kubectl while maintaining the same core functionality of erroring out on requests that contain unknown or invalid fields.

- The kube-apiserver's Prometheus metrics have been extended with some that describe the costs of handling LIST requests.  They are as follows.
  - *apiserver_cache_list_total*: Counter of LIST requests served from watch cache, broken down by resource_prefix and index_name

multiple smaller chunks. A client can specify a limit to the number of results to return. If more results exist, a token is returned that allows the client to continue the previous list call repeatedly until all results are retrieved.  The resulting list is identical to a list call that does not perform chunking, thanks to capabilities provided by etcd3.  This allows the server to use less memory and CPU when very large lists are returned. This feature is gated as APIListChunking and is not enabled by...
