// NodeAuthorizer authorizes requests from kubelets, with the following logic:
//  1. If a request is not from a node (NodeIdentity() returns isNode=false), reject
//  2. If a specific node cannot be identified (NodeIdentity() returns nodeName=""), reject
//  3. If a request is for a secret, configmap, persistent volume, resource claim, or persistent volume claim, reject unless the verb is get, and the requested object is related to the requesting node:
//     node <- configmap
//     node <- pod
//     node <- pod <- secret
//     node <- pod <- configmap
//     node <- pod <- pvc
//     node <- pod <- pvc <- pv
//     node <- pod <- pvc <- pv <- secret
//     node <- pod <- ResourceClaim
//     node <- pcr
//  4. If a request is for a resourceslice, then authorize access if there is an
//     edge from the existing slice object to the node, which is the case if the
//     existing object has the node in its NodeName field. For create, the access gets
//     granted because the noderestriction admission plugin checks that the NodeName
//     is set to the node.
//  5. For other resources, authorize all nodes uniformly using statically defined rules
