Support Standard Kubernetes Autoscaler

Logi Leifsson
For lots of reasons people who use DOKS might want to install cluster autoscaler themselves, to tweak its settings, see the logs etc. Currently that is not possible due to https://github.com/kubernetes/autoscaler/issues/3556#issuecomment-796653795
So my idea is basically to put a little more effort on this issue, it would also make Digitalocean more competitive with EKS, GCP, Azure and other cloud providers who already support people installing their own autoscaler
