Remove mapping to /host/lib from fluentd-gcp container.

**What this PR does / why we need it**:

This mapping is no longer needed since fluentd-gcp v2.0.16, in which it started using a container image based on Debian Stretch, in which the systemd libraries already include support for all the supported
compression algorithms.

The `/run.sh` in the image no longer accesses `/host/lib` anyways, so let's stop mapping it here.

Fixes 'Zone is empty' errors in PD upgrade tests; skips pd tests with inline volume in multizone clusters

**What this PR does / why we need it**: Fixes regional cluster upgrade test failures.

PV upgrade tests were failing because a "" zone is passed to the GCE PD create disk call. In a multizone setting the test must select from a managed zone.

PD tests were failing because it uses inline GCE PD volumes, which should not be used in multizone clusters.

Backoff only when failed pod shows up

**What this PR does / why we need it**:
Upon introducing the backoff policy we started to delay sync runs for the job when it failed several times before. This leads to failed jobs not reporting status right away in cases that are not related to failed pods, eg. a successful run. This PR ensures the backoff is applied only when `updatePod` receives a failed pod.

Fix issue with race condition during pod deletion

This PR fixes two issues
1. When desired_state_populator removes podvolume state, it should check
whether the actual state already has the volume before deleting it to
make sure actual state has a chance to add the volume into the state
2. When checking podVolume still exists, it not only checks the actual
state, but also the volume disk directory because actual state might not
reflect the real world when kubelet starts.

Mark reconstructed volumes as reported InUse

When a newly started kubelet finds a directory where a volume should be,
it can be fairly confident that the volume was mounted by previous kubelet
and therefore the volume must have been in node.status.volumesInUse.

Therefore we can mark reconstructed volumes as already reported so
subsequent reconcile() can fix the directory and put the mounted volume
into actual state of world.

Bump to etcd 3.1.12 to pick up critical fix

etcd [3.1.12](https://github.com/coreos/etcd/releases/tag/v3.1.12) (as well as 3.2.17 and 3.3.2) was released yesterday to fix a bug critical to kubernetes:

Fix [mvcc "unsynced" watcher restore operation](https://github.com/coreos/etcd/pull/9297).
- "unsynced" watcher is watcher that needs to be in sync with events that have happened.
- That is, "unsynced" watcher is the slow watcher that was requested on old revision.
- "unsynced" watcher restore operation was not correctly populating its underlying watcher group.
- Which possibly causes [missing events from "unsynced" watchers](https://github.com/coreos/etcd/issues/9086).

This will be backported to 1.9 as well.

Release note:
```release-note
Upgrade the default etcd server version to 3.1.12 to pick up critical etcd "mvcc "unsynced" watcher restore operation" fix.
```

Adds missing error check. An error can happen due to a race condition when watched files change, or become inaccessible.
