This edge release introduces a change in the destination service to honor
opaque ports set in the `proxyProtocol` field of `Server` resources. This
change makes it possible to set opaque ports directly in `Server` resources
without needing the opaque ports annotation on pods. The release also features
a number of fixes and improvements, a big thank you to our external
contributors for their continued support and involvement.

* Added support in the destination service for honoring opaque ports marked in
  `Server` resources; ports can now be marked as opaque directly in `Server`
  resources through the `proxyProtocol` field.
* Added support to override default behavior and run `proxyInit` as root
  (thanks @alex-berger!)
* Added multicluster `Link` CRD to code generation script; consumers of the
  multicluster API can now use a typed API to interact with multicluster links
  (thanks @zaharidichev!)
* Added a multicluster integration test for exported headless services (thanks
  @importhuman!)
* Deprecated `v1alpha1` version of the policy APIs
* Removed newline from `linkerd check` header text (thanks @mikutas!)
* Replaced deprecated `beta.kubernetes.io/os` label with `kubernetes.io/os`
