v0.44.0

[github.com/gardener/etcd-backup-restore:v0.44.0]

⚠️ Breaking Changes

• [USER] BREAKING: Removed deprecated support for passing storage endpoint via credential secrets for AWS, GCP & Azure. Users must now use the --store-endpoint-override flag for custom endpoints (emulators, S3-compatible providers, regional endpoints). The following credential secret fields are no longer supported: endpoint (S3), domain/emulatorEnabled (Azure), storageAPIEndpoint/emulatorEnabled (GCS). by @anveshreddy18 [#1000]

📰 Noteworthy

• [USER] Schedule/cron etcd defragmentation can be auto skipped if TotalDBSize < 3GB and FreeSpaceAvailable < 1GB (configurable via CLI flag --freespace-threshold ) by @ishan16696 [#1039]
• [USER] Remove StatefulSet-based scale-out detection from etcd's initial-cluster-state determination; cluster state for multi-node etcd is derived solely from etcd learner membership. Respective RBACs has also been removed from helm charts. by @priyadharshini-151193 [#1040]

🏃 Others

• [DEPENDENCY] Upgrade Go builder to 1.26.5 and bump grpc and the AWS SDK to fix reported vulnerabilities. by @anveshreddy18 [#1054]
