Flatcar OS Support

[displague]

User Story

Flatcar is an OS supported by Equinix Metal https://deploy.equinix.com/developers/docs/metal/operating-systems/supported/#flatcar-linux with unique benefits.

Adding Flatcar OS support to CAPP would give users more choice.

Are there additional controllers that should be used when deploying Kubernetes on Flatcar?

• https://github.com/flatcar/flatcar-linux-update-operator

Are special steps needed to bootstrap the OS? (https://cluster-api.sigs.k8s.io/tasks/experimental-features/ignition.html)
