 We propose to
 - add a new flag in Kubelet called `TopologyManagerPolicyOptions` in the kubelet config or command line argument called `topology-manager-policy-options` which allows the user to specify the Topology Manager policy option.
 - add a new topology manager option called `prefer-closest-numa-nodes`; if present, this option will enable further refinements of the existing `restricted` and `best-effort` policies, this option has no effect for `none` and `single-numa-node` policies.
