* Check for known manifests during preflight instead of only checking for non-empty manifests directory. This makes the preflight checks less heavy-handed by specifically checking for well-known files (kube-apiserver.yaml, kube-controller-manager.yaml, kube-scheduler.yaml, etcd.yaml) in /etc/kubernetes/manifests instead of simply checking for a non-empty directory.
