In order to improve the observability of the resource management
in kubelet, cpu allocation and NUMA alignment, we add more metrics
to report if resource alignment is in effect.
The more precise reporting would probably be using pod status,
but this would require more invasive and riskier changes,
and possibly extra interactions to the APIServer.
We start adding metrics to report if containers got their
compute resources aligned.
If metrics are growing, the assingment is working as expected;
If metrics stay consistent, perhaps at zero, no resource
alignment is done.
Extra fixes brought by this work
- retroactively add labels for existing tests
- running metrics test demands precision accounting to avoid flakes;
ensure the node state is restored pristine between each test, to
minimize the aforementioned risk of flakes.
- The test pod command line was wrong, with this the pod could not
reach Running state. That gone unnoticed so far because
no test using this utility function actually needed a pod
in running state.

This changes the text registration so that tags for which the framework has a
dedicated API (features, feature gates, slow, serial, etc.) those APIs are
used.
Arbitrary, custom tags are still left in place for now.
Currently in the tests there is ambiguity in terms of host setup
when it comes to cpus or cores. This commit disambiguates that.
