* Kubelet now proxies container streaming between apiserver and container runtime. The connection between kubelet and apiserver is authenticated. Container runtime should change streaming server to serve on localhost, to make the connection between kubelet and container runtime local.

- The JWT authenticator in `kube-apiserver` now reports the following metrics when the `StructuredAuthenticationConfiguration` feature gate is enabled:
  - `apiserver_authentication_jwt_authenticator_jwks_fetch_last_timestamp_seconds`

Kubelet to establish connections to Pods, retrieve container logs, and more. While Kubernetes already validates the proxying address for Nodes, a bug in kube-apiserver made it possible to bypass this validation. Bypassing this validation could allow authenticated requests destined for Nodes to be redirected to the API Server through its private network.

The merged fix enforces validation against the proxying address for a Node. In some cases, the fix can break clients that depend on the `nodes/proxy`...

## Changes to API Resources
### ABAC
* ABAC policies using `"user":"*"` or `"group":"*"` to match all users or groups will only match authenticated requests. To match unauthenticated requests, ABAC policies must explicitly specify `"group":"system:unauthenticated"` ([#38968](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/38968), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
