Add glibc version constraints to the kubelet package

[saschagrunert]

kubernetes/kubernetes#118996 (#3076) will land in Kubernetes 1.29, containing a switch to debian:bookworm. This means we now require glibc 2.36 (compared to 2.31 on bullseye) for non static binaries like the kubelet.

The package of the kubelet could contain a constraint like this to highlight possible incompatibilities:

Requires: glibc >= 2.36

This needs to be done per release branch, while only affecting 1.29. We could also add a similar constraint to previous release branches (with 2.31).

We might upgrade the active branches to 1.21 as well so if that happens we need that constrain in the others as well

[saschagrunert]

We'll bump back to bullseye with #3249, means we can add the 2.31 glibc constraint to all maintained release branches.

Current Ubuntu LTS (22.04) uses 2.35 (and the next version won't release until 5 months after Kubernetes 1.29). Am I understanding things correctly that Kubernetes 1.29 won't be usable on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS?

No, we still support the previous glibc version from bullseye per https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/build/build-image/cross/VERSION

We meet the problem in #3430. Current workaround is to keep docker in 24.0 while docker v25.0 was released recently.
