In the past user had to customize Kubernetes or use a bind mount to make writing the default /usr/libexec/kubernetes/ path work. With systemd-sysext on by default the bind mount doesn't work anymore because it can get lost. A newer workaround is to use a systemd-sysext image that creates a symlink in /usr/libexec/... to redirect to somewhere under /var/. Instead of relying on workarounds, make Kubernetes work by default on Flatcar by having the symlink be part of the generic image. The target folder will be created through a tmpfiles rule.

(The same paths are used as in flatcar/sysext-bakery#28)
How to use
Backport to Stable and maybe even LTS?
Testing done
Done:
Checked that the symlink exists under
/usrand that the target dir is created by a tmpfile rule inbase_image_var.conf(base_image_var.conf:d /var/kubernetes/kubelet-plugins/volume/exec 0755 root root - -)changelog/directory (user-facing change, bug fix, security fix, update)/bootand/usrsize, packages, list files for any missing binaries, kernel modules, config files, kernel modules, etc.
