This edge release features the option to persist prometheus data to a volume
instead of memory, so that historical metrics are available when prometheus is
restarted. Additional changes are outlined in the bullet points below.

* Some commands like `linkerd stat` would fail if any control plane components
  were unhealthy, even when other replicas are healthy. The check conditions
  for these commands have been improved
* The helm chart can now configure persistent storage for Prometheus
  (thanks @naseemkullah!)
* The proxy log output format can now be configured to `plain` or `json` using
  the `config.linkerd.io/proxy-log-format` annotation or the
  `global.proxy.logFormat` value in the helm chart
  (thanks again @naseemkullah!)
* `linkerd install --addon-config=` now supports URLs in addition to local
  files
* The CNI Helm chart used the incorrect variable name to determine the `createdBy`
  version tag. This is now controlled by `cniPluginVersion` in the helm chart
* The proxy's default buffer size has been increased, which reduces latency when
  the proxy has many concurrent clients
