edge-24.1.1

This edge release introduces a number of different fixes and improvements. More
notably, it introduces a new cni-repair-controller binary to the CNI plugin
image. The controller will automatically restart pods that have not received
their iptables configuration.

• Removed shortnames from Tap API resources to avoid colliding with existing
  Kubernetes resources (#11816; fixes #11784)
• Introduced a new ExternalWorkload CRD to support upcoming mesh expansion
  feature (#11805)
• Changed MeshTLSAuthentication resource validation to allow SPIFFE URI
  identities (#11882)
• Introduced a new cni-repair-controller to the linkerd-cni DaemonSet to
  automatically restart misconfigured pods that are missing iptables rules
  (#11699; fixes #11073)
• Fixed a "duplicate metrics" warning in the multicluster service-mirror
  component (#11875; fixes #11839)
• Added metric labels and weights to linkerd diagnostics endpoints json
  output (#11889)
• Changed how Server updates are handled in the destination service. The
  change will ensure that during a cluster resync, consumers won't be
  overloaded by redundant updates (#11907)
• Changed linkerd install error output to add a newline when a Kubernetes
  client cannot be successfully initialised (#11917)
