v0.63.0

[github.com/gardener/machine-controller-manager:v0.63.0]

✨ New Features

• [OPERATOR] Support node.machine.sapcloud.io/effective-creation-timeout on MachineDeployment to override shoot configured machineControllerManager.machineCreationTimeout for use by dependency-watchdog by @elankath [#1104]
• [OPERATOR] Support new metrics: machine_create_duration_seconds, machine_initialize_duration_seconds, machine_join_duration_seconds,machine_drain_duration_seconds,machine_delete_duration_seconds by @elankath [#1104]
• [DEVELOPER] Introduce simulation provider to run integration tests for MCM without an actual cluster by @takoverflow [#1129]

🐛 Bug Fixes

• [OPERATOR] Fix for Machine getting stuck with empty phase when finalizer addition exhausts retry budget by @elankath [#1142]
• [OPERATOR] Ensure auto-preserve failed machines are ordered by their PreserveExpiryTime in case of deletion due to reduction is mcs.spec.Replica or mcs.spec.autoPreserveFailedMachineMax by @aaronfern [#1138]
• [OPERATOR] Patch machine.Spec.Class.Name on machine object with the new machine class's name after it undergoes an inplace update. by @thiyyakat [#1153]
• [OPERATOR] Fix preservation reconcile loop to avoid unconditionally uncordoning nodes unrelated to machine preservation, prevent spurious writes on non-preserved machines, and eliminate conflict errors caused by stale machine object comparison in the defer annotation sync. by @gardener-ci-robot [#1118]
• [OPERATOR] MCM now deletes the backing node when its machine is force-deleted, and clears finalizers on nodes terminating without a backing machine.
  Machine creation status is also modified to distinguish cloud provider failures from node registration failures. by @gagan16k [#1102]
• [OPERATOR] Fix drain error drop in preservation flow where a failed drain on a previously-visited preserved node would not cause the reconciler to retry fast enough. by @thiyyakat [#1145]
• [OPERATOR] Prevent error while evicting pod X: pod disruption budget X/X is misconfigured and requires zero voluntary evictions when pods are being evicted by @Kumm-Kai [#1127]
• [DEVELOPER] Revert changes on machineTerminationFlow which caused a machine to be stuck in Terminating phase by @gagan16k [#1157]

🏃 Others

• [OPERATOR] The orphan-VM safety controller no longer deletes the backing VM of a preserved machine. by @gagan16k [#1146]
• [OPERATOR] De-couple cordoning and drain in the various operations that involve draining such as updates and machine preservation. by @thiyyakat [#1119]
• [DEVELOPER] Added integration tests for machine preservation by @aaronfern [#1124]
