request to update calico-operator manifest to install calico >= 3.21.0

[kashook]

Pull request #1629 added the ANNOTATE_POD_IP option to the aws-vpc-cni plugin to annotate pods with their IP address to address pod startup network latency with Calico. Calico has recently released version 3.21.0 (see release notes), which includes this update to actually read the annotation added by the aws-vpc-cni when ANNOTATE_POD_IP is set. This is a request to update the calico-operator manifest referred to by this AWS documentation to install a tigera operator version that will install version 3.21.0 or higher of Calico so that we can eliminate the network latency issue on pod startup in our EKS cluster.

@kashook Since we are deprecating Calico charts in this repo and this feature is already supported in new version of Calico, please refer to our important announcement and suggested installation instruction to upgrade Calico.
I am closing this ticket due to unsupported charts upgrade. Please feel free to send questions to our triage email ([email protected]) if you have.
