[ci:component:github.com/gardener/machine-controller-manager:v0.48.1->v0.49.0]

[gardener-robot-ci-1]

Release Notes:

The API generation now works again. Previously the API docs was generated to a location that was ignored by git and other API docs file was maintained.

Removal of the following flags (and corresponding fields in associated structs): 'machine-creation-timeout' 'machine-drain-timeout', 'machine-pv-detach-timeout', 'machine-health-timeout=10m', 'machine-safety-apiserver-statuscheck-timeout', 'machine-safety-apiserver-statuscheck-period', 'machine-safety-orphan-vms-period', 'machine-max-evict-retries', 'node-conditions', 'bootstrap-token-auth-extra-groups', 'delete-migrated-machine-class'. The MCM no longer accepts these flags since these are options handled by the Machine Controller invoked by platform specific provider launchers.

Deletion of 'Driver.GenerateMachineClassForMigration'. Providers need to adapt to this.

An edge case where all the machineSets were scaled down to zero has been dealt with.

Fix a bug in the bootstrap token creation that caused node to not be able to join the cluster due to an expired bootstrap token.

`CrashloopBackoff` machines will turn to `Running` quicker

Machine object won't turn from `Pending`  to `Running` state if `node.gardener.cloud/critical-components-not-ready` taint is there on the corresponding node.

CVE categorization for MCM has been added.

Bump `k8s.io/*` dependencies to v1.26.2

Added proposal for hot-update of resources (instance/Nic/Disk)
