Lubomir I. Ivanov d0c6d303c3 kubeadm: promote the "kubeadm certs" command to GA (#24410)
The command resided under "kubeadm alpha certs".
It will be promoted to GA in 1.20 as "kubeadm certs".

The existing command "kubeadm alpha" will
remain present for one more release, but it will be hidden
from documentation as it is deprecated.
