Make CreatePrivilegedPSPBinding reentrant so tests using it (e.g. DNS) can be
executed more than once against a cluster. Without this change, such tests will
fail because the PSP already exists, short circuiting test setup.
The test "Should be able to deny attaching pod" can randomly fail
because it never waits for the pod to enter a "Running" state. Because
of this, the "kubectl attach" command can potentially fail, if the pod is
not in the correct state.
Additionally, if the "kubectl attach" actually manages to attach, then the
test will hang. The command should be executed with a timeout.
Tests settings should be defined in the test source code itself
because conceptually the framework is a separate entity that not all
test authors can modify.
For the sake of backwards compatibility the name of the command line
flags are not changed.

Using the new framework/config code also has several advantages:
- defaults can be set with less code
- no confusion around what's a duration
- the options can also be set via command line flags
While at it, a minor bug gets fixed:
- readConfig() returns only defaults when called while
registering Ginkgo tests because Viperize() gets called later,
so the scale in the logging soak test couldn't really be configured;
now the value is read when the test runs and thus can be changed
The options get moved into the "instrumentation.logging"
resp. "instrumentation.monitoring" group to make it more obvious where
they are used. This is a breaking change, but that was already
necessary to improve the duration setting from plain integer to a
proper time duration.
Tests shouldn't have to use the central context for their settings,
because conceptually tests and framework get developed independently.
This does not yet use the new framework/config utility code because
that code still needs to be reviewed.
Besides moving the flags, they also get renamed from the top-level
"--csiImage{Version|Registry}" to
"--storage.csi.image.{version|registry}". These flags were introduced
fairly recently and shouldn't be in use much, so now is a good time to
introduce a hierarchical naming for storage flags, in particular
because more flags will be added soon.
Storing settings in the framework's TestContext is not something that
out-of-tree test authors can do because for them the framework is a
read-only upstream component. Conceptually the same is true for
in-tree tests, so the recommended approach is to define configuration
settings in the code that uses them.
How to do that is a bit uncertain. Viper has several
drawbacks (maintenance status uncertain, cannot list supported
options, cannot validate the configuration file). How to handle
configuration files is currently getting discussed for kubeadm, with
similar concerns about
Viper (https://github.com/kubernetes/kubeadm/issues/1040).
Instead of making a choice now for E2E, the recommendation is that
test authors continue to define command line flags as before, except
that they should do it in their own code and with better flag names.
But the ability to read options also from a file is useful, so
several enhancements get added:
- all settings defined via flags can also be read from a
configuration file, without extra work for test authors
- framework/config makes it possible to populate a struct directly
and define flags with a single function call
- a path and file suffix can be given to --viper-config (as in
"--viper-config /tmp/e2e.json") instead of expecting the file in
the current directory; as before, just plain "--viper-config e2e"
still works
- if "--viper-config" is set, the file must exist; otherwise the
"e2e" config is optional (as before)
- errors from Viper are no longer silently ignored, so syntax errors
are detected early
- Viper support is optional: test suite authors who don't want
it are not forced to use it by the e2e/framework
