End of support for CGroupsV1 in early 2025

Flatcar will stop supporting the cgroups v1 backwards compatibility mode in Q1 2025.

• With our adoption of systemd-256, support for legacy CGroupsV1 will end in Alpha, Beta, and eventually Stable.
• Enabling legacy CGroupsV1 during deployment will not be supported anymore.
• Nodes that use CGroupsV1 legacy mode will fail to update. This ensures your workloads will not be disrupted. Enable CGroupsV2 on your legacy CGroupsV1 nodes in order to successfully update.
• LTS-2024 will support CGroupsV1 until late 2025.
