Jim Gauld 05bbc77057 Improve shutdown of containerd
This update is to prevent nodes from crashing while powering
off during graceful shutdown (or reboot). This improves timing
and shutdown of containerd.service.

The containerd shutdown script stops all containers via
'crictl stop' with 5 second timeout, followed by stop all
pods via 'crictl stopp'. This cleans up lingering /pause
sandbox containers.

This modifies the arguments to xargs and crictl to let xargs
deal with parallelism instead of batching to crictl.
crictl appears to do the stop operations serially.

The number stop in parallel is engineered to 10.

Engineering the number of stop in parallel in relation to
shutdown timings under stress load will be addressed in a
subsequent update. The engineering TC should align with
customer requirements.

When testing containerd shutdown under the stress of multiple
pods writing to a shared PersistentVolume, even the new parallel
shutdown code is not sufficient to complete the shutdown within
the default 90-second timeout. Additional changes will be needed
to enable clean shutdown under those circumstances.

Partial-Bug: 2043069

Test plan:
- PASS - build-image, install and boot up on AIO-SX
- PASS - perform reboot and verify /var/log/daemon.log
         has new k8s-container-cleanup.sh logs
         for 'Stopping all pods' and 'Stopping all containers',
         and that drbd stops after containerd.
- FAIL - verify containerd shutdown works under stress with
         the new parallel stop pods parameter NPAR=10.
         The stress load uses ReadWriteMany PVC, and multiple
         pods, each writing to the shared PVC.

README.txt

The containerd.service file and config.toml were pulled in
from the upstream Debian package
containerd_1.6.20~ds1-1+b1_amd64.deb downloaded from
http://ftp.ca.debian.org/debian/pool/main/c/containerd/

The config.toml file is identical to what we were using previously
with the older version of containerd, and is unchanged in the
newer version of the package.  It will get overwritten by
ansible/puppet anyways during system bringup.

The containerd.service file is identical to the version from
the containerd github source tag "v1.6.21" except that the
containerd binary is in /usr/bin/ instead of /usr/local/bin.
The only difference from what we had before is that LimitNOFILE
is now set to "infinity" to align with both Debian and containerd
upstream.

The binaries that get pulled in at build time are from the
containerd upstream binary release
containerd-1.6.21-linux-amd64.tar.gz downloaded from
https://github.com/containerd/containerd/releases/tag/v1.6.21

The rationale for using the upstream binaries rather than the
Debian "bookworm" package is that the Debian package requires
a lot of other dependencies including newer glibc and python3,
which would be too intrusive for our purposes.
