The cloudprovider is being refactored out of kubernetes core. This is being
done by moving all the cloud-specific calls from kube-apiserver, kubelet and
kube-controller-manager into a separately maintained binary(by vendors) called
cloud-controller-manager. The Kubelet relies on the cloudprovider to detect information
about the node that it is running on. Some of the cloudproviders worked by
querying local information to obtain this information. In the new world of things,
local information cannot be relied on, since cloud-controller-manager will not
run on every node. Only one active instance of it will be run in the cluster.
Today, all calls to the cloudprovider are based on the nodename. Nodenames are
unqiue within the kubernetes cluster, but generally not unique within the cloud.
This model of addressing nodes by nodename will not work in the future because
local services cannot be queried to uniquely identify a node in the cloud. Therefore,
I propose that we perform all cloudprovider calls based on ProviderID. This ID is
a unique identifier for identifying a node on an external database (such as
the instanceID in aws cloud).

Set custom PollingDelay of 5 seconds for Azure VirtualMachinesClient
The default polling delay of 1 minute results in very long delays when
an Azure Disk is attached to a node. It gets worse as go-autorest
doubles the default delay to 2 minutes.
Please see: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/35180#issuecomment-273085063
Only the PollingDelay for VirtualMachinesClient is modified here to
avoid too much pressure on Azure quotas.

Remove Azure Subnet RouteTable check
**What this PR does / why we need it**:
PR Removes the subnet configuration check for Azure cloudprovider. The subnet check ensures that the subnet is associated with the Route Table. However if the VNET is in a different Azure Resource Group then the check fails, even if the subnet is already valid. This a stop gap fix, to allow Kubernetes to be deployed to Custom VNETs in Azure, that may reside in a different resource group to the cluster.

This method has been unused by k8s for some time, and yet is the last
piece of the cloud provider API that encourages provider names to be
human-friendly strings (this method applies a regex to instance names).
Actually removing this deprecated method is part of a long effort to
migrate from instance names to instance IDs in at least the OpenStack
provider plugin.

Allow backendpools in Azure Load Balancers which are not owned by cloud provider
**What this PR does / why we need it**: It fixes#36880
**Which issue this PR fixes**: fixes#36880
**Special notes for your reviewer**:
**Release note**:
```release-note
Allow backendpools in Azure Load Balancers which are not owned by cloud provider
```
Instead of bailing out when we find another backend pool, we just ignore
other backend pools and add ours to the list of existing.
Fixes#36880
At master volume reconciler, the information about which volumes are
attached to nodes is cached in actual state of world. However, this
information might be out of date in case that node is terminated (volume
is detached automatically). In this situation, reconciler assume volume
is still attached and will not issue attach operation when node comes
back. Pods created on those nodes will fail to mount.
This PR adds the logic to periodically sync up the truth for attached volumes kept in the actual state cache. If the volume is no longer attached to the node, the actual state will be updated to reflect the truth. In turn, reconciler will take actions if needed.
To avoid issuing many concurrent operations on cloud provider, this PR
tries to add batch operation to check whether a list of volumes are
attached to the node instead of one request per volume.
More details are explained in PR #33760
