v1.6.2 Release

The most important change in this release is a fix for #931, the gRPC Unix-socket proxy issue. Other changes include some additional debug information, improved integration tests, setting the user agent in EC2 requests, and updated limits for m6g, c6g and r6g instance types.

Note! If you edit an existing v1.5.x CNI deployment, make sure to mount /var/run/dockershim.sock correctly!
