KubeOne does not detect containerd version on Flatcar Linux

[spimmer]

What happened?

When trying to provision a KubeOne cluster on Flatcar nodes, KubeOne fails to detect containerd version and cancels installation.

Expected behavior

KubeOne succeeds to detect containerd version and continues installation.

How to reproduce the issue?

• provision a node with flatcar
• try to run kubeone applyagainst that node

What KubeOne version are you using?

$ kubeone version
{
  "kubeone": {
    "major": "1",
    "minor": "7",
    "gitVersion": "1.7.2",
    "gitCommit": "00fd09d91da76e307f016afb3b4f42ad6281eb2c",
    "gitTreeState": "",
    "buildDate": "2024-01-05T15:30:12Z",
    "goVersion": "go1.21.3",
    "compiler": "gc",
    "platform": "darwin/arm64"
  },
  "machine_controller": {
    "major": "1",
    "minor": "57",
    "gitVersion": "v1.57.4",
    "gitCommit": "",
    "gitTreeState": "",
    "buildDate": "",
    "goVersion": "",
    "compiler": "",
    "platform": "linux/amd64"
  }
}
}

Confirmed same behavior with KubeOne v1.7.0
