Submariner 0.16.2 Release

[Daniel Farrell]

Hello,

Submariner 0.16.2 is released!

• The Globalnet controller now employs Kubernetes leader election to ensure proper continuity during fail-over and avoid potential race conditions.
• The Gateway leader election was enhanced to not restart the pod when leadership is lost to avoid possible data path disruption.
• Fixed an issue in Service Discovery where stale endpoint IPs, corresponding to services that no longer exist, were returned from DNS queries.
• Sockets from the host are mounted through their parent directory, which ensures that the sockets themselves aren’t replaced by directories (which prevents OVN components from starting). Additionally, stray directories are cleaned up at startup. This fixes the known issue with upgrades involving OVN, as documented in the known issues section for v0.16.0.
