What type of PR is this?
/kind documentation

What this PR does / why we need it:
The calico_iptables_backend=Auto is not stable. The problem is very often in Centos 8 , Oracle Linux 8 and RHEL 8.
So should we suggest user to use calico_iptables_backend: "NFT" instead of the "auto" mode, only suggest user to use the calico_iptables_backend: "NFT".

Which issue(s) this PR fixes:
Fixes #

Special notes for your reviewer:
NONE

Does this PR introduce a user-facing change?:
NONE

Reasons:

  1. RHEL/Centos 8 ships a hacked version of iptables 1.8 that only supports nft mode from the (https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/iptables-wrappers"),
  2. We failed on Calico in Centos8 many time. The "auto" mode is not stable after the cluster runned for days.
  3. The docs of RHEL in kubespray : https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubespray/blob/master/docs/rhel.md is NFT mode
  4. a blog article about the issue: https://mihail-milev.medium.com/no-pod-to-pod-communication-on-centos-8-kubernetes-with-calico-56d694d2a6f4

Hi @yankay. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a kubernetes-sigs member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Instructions for interacting with me using PR comments are available here. If you have questions or suggestions related to my behavior, please file an issue against the kubernetes/test-infra repository.
