The day's real work landed in cluster-autoscaler's Vultr provider and in two Kubernetes control-plane admission fixes, the rest being dependency bumps and test cleanup.

limitranger: skip min/max on an unchanged PVC request on update kubernetes/kubernetes

by thc1006

LimitRanger re-admitted every PersistentVolumeClaim on update and checked its requests against the current min/max without consulting the stored claim, so a claim that was legal when created, or that a later LimitRange disallows, failed every subsequent update, including label-only edits.
