+### Minimum kubernetes version bumped from 3.0.0 to  21.7.0

+No change in behavior is expected.  This was necessary in order to take advantage of a [bugfix](https://github.com/kubernetes-client/python-base/commit/70b78cd8488068c014b6d762a0c8d358273865b4) concerning refreshing of Kubernetes API tokens with EKS, which enabled the removal of some [workaround code](https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/20759).

 ### Deprecation: `Connection.extra` must be JSON-encoded dict
