Reduce apiserver metrics cardinality and extraneous labels

* Stop mapping node labels to targets discovered via Kubernetes
nodes (e.g. etcd, kubelet, cadvisor). It is rarely useful to
store node labels (e.g. kubernetes.io/os=linux) on these metrics
* kube-apiserver's apiserver_request_duration_seconds_bucket metric
has a high cardinality that includes labels for the API group, verb,
scope, resource, and component for each object type, including for
each CRD. This one metric has ~10k time series in a typical cluster
(btw 10-40% of total)
* Removing the apiserver request duration outright would make latency
alerts a NoOp and break a Grafana apiserver panel. Instead, drop series
that have a "group" label. Effectively, only request durations for
core Kubernetes APIs will be kept (e.g. cardinality won't grow with
each CRD added). This reduces the metric to ~2k unique series
