KEP-1965: update kube-apiserver identity KEP to reflect current state

- Lease garbage collection actually runs in kube-apiserver in a post
  start hook, not kube-controller-manager
- Lease namespace is `kube-system` and not `kube-apiserver-lease`
- Lease ID is kube-apiserver-<uuid>

 Similar to the [node heartbeats](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/blob/master/keps/sig-node/589-efficient-node-heartbeats),

+
+The format of the lease ID will be `kube-apiserver-<UUID>`. The UUID is newly generated on every start-up. This ID format is preferred
+for the following reasons:
+* No two kube-apiservers on the same host can share the same lease identity.
+* Revealing the hostname of kube-apiserver may not be desirable for some Kubernetes platforms.
+* The kube-apiserver version may change between restarts, which can trigger a storage version migration (see KEP on StorageVersionAPI)
+
+In some cases it can be desirable to use a predictable ID format (e.g. kube-apiserver-<hostname>). We may consider providing
+a flag in `kube-apiserver` to override the lease identity.
+
+All kube-apiserver leases will also have a component label `k8s.io/component=kube-apiserver`.
