Add CIS Benchmarks support to Rancher Distributions RKE/RKE2/K3s (#1523)
* add Support VMware Tanzu(TKGI) Benchmarks v1.2.53
with this change, we are adding
1. latest kubernetes cis benchmarks for VMware Tanzu1.2.53
2. logic to kube-bench so that kube-bench can auto detect vmware platform, will be able to execute the respective vmware tkgi compliance checks.
3. job-tkgi.yaml file to run the benchmark as a job in tkgi cluster

* Bump docker base images (#1465)

During a recent CVE scan we found kube-bench to use `alpine:3.18` as the final image which has a known high CVE.

```
grype aquasec/kube-bench:v0.6.15
 ✔ Vulnerability DB        [no update available]
 ✔ Loaded image
 ✔ Parsed image
 ✔ Cataloged packages      [73 packages]
 ✔ Scanning image...       [4 vulnerabilities]
   ├── 0 critical, 4 high, 0 medium, 0 low, 0 negligible
   └── 4 fixed
NAME        INSTALLED  FIXED-IN  TYPE  VULNERABILITY  SEVERITY
libcrypto3  3.1.0-r4   3.1.1-r0  apk   CVE-2023-2650  High

openssl     3.1.0-r4   3.1.1-r0  apk   CVE-2023-2650  High
```

The CVE in question was addressed in the latest [alpine release](https://www.alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.15.9-3.16.6-3.17.4-3.18.2-released.html), hence updating the dockerfiles accordingly

* Add CIS Benchmarks support to Rancher Distributions RKE/RKE2/K3s
Based on the information furnished in https://ranchermanager.docs.rancher.com/v2.7/pages-for-subheaders/rancher-hardening-guides
kube-bench executes CIS-1.23 (Kubernetes v1.23) , CIS-1.24(Kubernetes v1.24),CIS-1.7 (Kubernetes v1.25,v1.26,v1.27) CIS Benchmarks of respective distributions.

* RKE/RKE2 CIS Benchmarks
Updated the order of checks for RKE and RKE2 Platforms.

* fixed vulnerabilities|upgraded package golang.org/x/net to version v0.17.0

* Error handling for RKE Detection Pre-requisites

* Based on the information furnished in https://ranchermanager.docs.rancher.com/v2.7/pages-for-subheaders/rancher-hardening-guides#hardening-guides-and-benchmark-versions, kube-bench executes CIS-1.23 (Kubernetes v1.23) , CIS-1.24(Kubernetes v1.24),CIS-1.7 (Kubernetes v1.25,v1.26,v1.27) CIS Benchmarks of respective distributions.
updated documentation specific to added rancher platforms

* addressed review comments
1.Implemented IsRKE functionality in kube-bench
2. Removed containerd from global level config and accommodated in individual config file
3. Corrected the control id from 1.2.25 to 1.2.23 in master.yaml(k3s-cis-1.23 and k3s-cis-1.24)

* Removed unncessary dependency - kubernetes-provider-detector
