Switch to using Flatcar Linux images on Google Cloud

* Use the official Kinvolk Flatcar Linux image on Google Cloud
* Change `os_image` from a custom image name to `flatcar-stable`
(default), `flatcar-beta`, or `flatcar-alpha` (**action required**)
* Change `os_image` from a required to an optional variable
* Promote Typhoon on Flatcar Linux / Google Cloud to stable
* Remove docs about needing to upload a Flatcar Linux image
manually on Google Cloud and drop support for custom images

!!! tip
Regions are listed in [docs](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/regions-zones/regions-zones) or with `gcloud compute regions list`. A project may contain multiple clusters across different regions.
### Flatcar Linux Images
Flatcar Linux publishes Google Cloud images, but does not yet upload them. Google Cloud allows [custom boot images](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/images/import-existing-image) to be uploaded to a bucket and imported into your project.
[Download](https://www.flatcar-linux.org/releases/) the Flatcar Linux GCE gzipped tarball and upload it to a Google Cloud storage bucket.
```
gsutil list
gsutil cp flatcar_production_gce.tar.gz gs://BUCKET
```
Create a Compute Engine image from the file.
```
gcloud compute images create flatcar-linux-2303-4-0 --source-uri gs://BUCKET_NAME/flatcar_production_gce.tar.gz
```
Set the [os_image](#variables) in the next step.
## Cluster
Define a Kubernetes cluster using the module `google-cloud/flatcar-linux/kubernetes`.
